Emu Park 

More photos   

Situated along the Capricorn Coast, Emu Park is host to the Singing Ship, a monument overlooking the coast line that actually sings in the sea breeze. Take a scenic drive south of Yeppoon before arriving in Emu park or drive straight from Rockhampton which passes the Koorana Crocodile Farm. From Emu Park you can also visit Great Keppel Island for a day trip, or enjoy the quiet, peaceful surrounds that Emu Park has to offer.

The first European to visit was Captain James Cook who sailed past the area between 25 May and 27 May 1770. During this time he named Great Keppel Island and Keppel Bay (after Admiral August Keppel) and Cape Capricorn.

Today Emu Park is usually visited by travellers passing through on the circular scenic route from Rockhampton to Yeppoon.
