Sunday...15 June 2014

While we wait for the garage to complete the repairs to our vehicle, Himself got us a hire car, so yesterday we did some shopping and today we took a trip from Rockhampton to Yepoon and back via Emu Park. This was a pretty drive. Once you get to Yepoon there is non stop sea views and sandy beaches all the way to Emu Park which is 21 km away. Also visible are lots of islands including Great Keppel Island.
At Rosslyn Bay where the ferries for the Keppel Islands leave, we saw a lovely boat harbour with some very serious money floating on the well protected bay.

Emu Park is a lovely laid back little seaside town. On a raised area of the foreshore they have put a monument up for Captain James Cook and this takes the form of a singing ship. When the wind blows through the strategically placed pipes the monument appears to sing. While we were there it sort of hummed!

A good day out. Lets hope tomorrow the garage finishes fixing our vehicle.
