Description

Emu Park, home of the famous Singing Ship Monument, is found on the Capricorn Coast, some 44klms east of the City of Rockhampton, Central Queensland.The Park is 19 km south of the township of Yeppoon, and overlooks the islands of Keppel Bay, including the world famous Great Keppel Island.

Emu Park's European history dates to the 1860s when the Jardine family established a cattle grazing property south of the current town, at Zilzie, an anagram of Lizzie Jardine.

Emu Park township was established in the 1870s when several Rockhampton families built seaside holiday houses on the hills overlooking the two beaches that are a feature of the town - Fisherman's Beach and Pine Beach. Emu Park was connected to Rockhampton by train in 1888 and became a popular, but fairly select, seaside resort from that time on.
