Keppel Sands

Keppel Sands is a quiet beach settlement located 15 km off the Emu Park Road and 40 km from Rockhampton. The road ends at the Sands and, apart from the locals, not many tourists make it out to this quaint, older style settlement. The Sands are surrounded by wide Cawarral Creek to the north, extensive tidal flats to the east and the long, swampy beach ridges of Cattle Point to the south, while mangrove-filled tidal creeks make up much of the backing land. It is essentially a land island by the sea.IMG_8226 IMG_8223 IMG_8216 IMG_8213 IMG_8205 IMG_8204 IMG_8200 IMG_5613 IMG_5606 IMG_6361 IMG_6356 IMG_6354 IMG_6351 IMG_6346 IMG_6344 IMG_6340 IMG_6337 IMG_6335 IMG_6332 IMG_6330 IMG_6327 IMG_6320 IMG_6317 IMG_6315 IMG_6312 IMG_6310 IMG_6308 IMG_6305 IMG_6304 IMG_5617
