Capricorn Coast
Sightseeing
Great Keppel Island is an island paradise where the ‘squeaky-clean’ white sand flows between your toes and the ocean sparkles before your eyes. As the largest island in the Keppel Group, Great Keppel is situated just north of the Tropic of Capricorn and on Australia’s heritage listed Southern Great Barrier Reef.
Whether you’re visiting Great Keppel for a day, a few nights, or for a couple of weeks, you can’t fail to be impressed by the scenery or the relaxed atmosphere on the island. Ferries depart every day to Great Keppel Island from Keppel Bay Marina (Keppel Konnections) & Pier One (Freedom Fast Cats), Rosslyn Bay Harbour just south of Yeppoon on the Capricorn Coast, 30 km north east of Rockhampton. Rockhampton is easily accessible by road, rail and air and is situated about half way between Brisbane and Townsville in Queensland, Australia’s sunshine state.
