Yeppoon
Attractive holiday resort town east of Rockhampton.
Located 681 km north of Brisbane and 40 km east of Rockhampton, Yeppoon is a holiday resort which has grown in popularity due to the extraordinarily successful advertising campaign associated with Great Keppel Island and the growing awareness that Yeppoon is surrounded by attractive beaches where, for most of the year, the swimming is good and the living is easy. It is basically a series of flat, firm sand, well developed beaches with access via good roads.
In spite of this apparent holiday orientation there is also a real sense that Yeppoon is a commuter belt for Rockhampton. With 8000 permanent residents it is obviously much more than a holiday resort and the traffic which heads out of town each morning and returns each evening indicates clearly that for many people living in Yeppoon and driving to Rockhampton every day is a desirable option.
