Emu Park near Yeppoon is noted for it's beaches and is a mid coastal town in Queensland. There is also the singing ship which actually makes sounds. The view from the platform is rather pleasant looking out onto the islands which I'm told great places to spend a holiday.
I would like to visit this place. Some much ocean... so much sand...
ReplyDeletePlenty of both for sure nearly all up the east coast.
Deletewonderfulphotos. Greetings from Katowice Poland
ReplyDeleteThanks Gosia..
DeleteThe scenery is absolutely beautiful. The beaches are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThey are rather pretty those beaches, always good to put ones feet on the sand and at the edge of the water.
DeleteWhat a spectacular place.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos.
Thanks Maria. When up that way we always seem to go back to there.
DeleteI’d love to hear the singing ship sculpture. I was waiting for the photos of the emus in Emu Park! :-)
ReplyDeletelol - haven't seen any Emu's there but by it's name rather says one should see Emu's :)
DeleteThe singing ship just hums with the wind and appears to play a tune. Sometimes you can hear it, other times not so.
Ahora la playa se ve solitaria. No debe estar en la temporada alta.
ReplyDeleteDa gusto pasear por allí, con esa belleza ,que se contempla, por todas partes.
Besos
The beaches are quiet as it was winter time, summer a few more people but then again might be too hot.
DeleteDid you see any emus there? Looks like good infrastructure.
ReplyDeleteNot one emu, never seen one there.
DeleteApparently the town was called Hewittville and when people started to holiday there the name changed to Emu Park, this could have due to seeing emus there, it's not sure apparently.
Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank You.
DeleteAh Captain James Cook. There's a figure who has generated a lot of controversy since his death in Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteThat's is true so I believe.
DeleteLooks like from tyre marks that beach buggy lovers have a field/sand day there?
ReplyDeleteI hope their antics are monitored?
I wonder what Captain Cook did all those years ago to upset a Kanuk???
He was after all one of the greatest navigators of the time.
Great photos

Could be beach buggies or boats and trailers as that's where the boats go in down that concrete ramp.
DeleteCaptain Cook was killed by the angry Hawaiians (Captain James Cook's 1779 attempted kidnapping of Kalaniʻōpuʻu, the ruling chief of the island of Hawaii and the decision to hold him in exchange for a stolen long boat (lifeboat) was the fatal error of Cook's final voyage, and ultimately led to his death.
I'm sure you knew/know this.
Yep - a stupid brain snap.
DeleteLesson to be learnt "don't upset the natives, especially of the Polynesian
family".
Colin
Pretty place.
ReplyDeleteIt is Adam.
DeleteBeatiful photos
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo-Anne.
DeleteI was greeted, and surprised, by about six emus at the Emu Park Caravan Park years ago! They were waiting for me to exit the ablutions' block I was inspecting before we set up camp!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh really. Never seen one there yet. Never heard anyone talking about emu's there, but obviously there were some when you were there even though it was a little while ago :)
DeleteMuy bella serie de imagenes, amiga

DeleteIt sure is a pretty place. I remember some of those places from our road trip some years ago.
