Capricorn Coast

VIEW OF ROCKHAMPTON from Mt Archer. As you can see the trees in the forefront are charred from the recent fires in the area. It is just amazing how close the fire was to homes in the area and how lucky the home owners were to not suffer any damage. The Fitzroy river runs through the city of Rockhampton and is the second largest river to the Murray river.
YEPPOON has a lovely bay with aqua water and views across to Great Keppel Island, alas today when we were there, the tide was out and there was the most shocking salty/fishy smell. I spoke to a lady later and she thought it might of been from the coral spawning, so not the usual - thank goodness as you would need to wear a peg on your nose. EMU PARK statue in tribute to Captain Cook naming the area in 1770.

ROCKHAMPTON ZOO is this what you call a sitting duck? Just love the colours.

JELLYFISH floating in the Fitzroy River, there were thousands of them; creepy.
