Drove out to Emu Park where we saw and heard the singing sailing ship. A monument to Captain Cook who discovered and named Keppel Bay. The Sunday markets were on so we took a stroll around for a couple of hours. Then headed north past Causeway Lake and Rosslyn Bay. At Rosslyn Bay there is a man made bay that houses a marina and it is also where the ferries leave and arrive from Great Keppel Island. After looking around the marina we were feeling a little hungry and headed up to Yepoon for some lunch and a look around. Enjoyed a lovely leisurely lunch at Meglomania and then wandered around Yepoon for a while.
On the way back to the caravan park we went up Mt Archer for what we thought would be a panoramic view of Rockhampton but there was too much smoke from a nearby bush fire and too many trees to be able to get any more than a glimpse of the town 600 metres below us.
