Emu Park Online

Welcome to the website for the township of Emu Park and the surrounding district, located on the Capricorn Coast of Queensland, Australia.

Emu Park, home to the famous Singing Ship Monument and the award winning Emu Park Anzac Memorial Walk. The Park as it is affectionately called, is found on the Capricorn Coast, some 44klms east of the City of Rockhampton, Central Queensland and 19 klms south of the township of Yeppoon.

Emu Park overlooks the islands of Keppel Bay, including the world famous Great Keppel Island.

On 30 May, 2020, Emu Park’s unique monument, the Singing Ship, turns 50 years of age. During the last half-century the Singing Ship has grown to be the celebrated symbol of Emu Park, the Capricorn Coast and the wider Capricorn region.

The Singing Ship has its origins in 1969 with a competition run by the local Capricornia Captain Cook Bicentennial Committee, that was designed to select a project to commemorate the passage of Captain James Cook and his ship, the Endeavour, through Central Queensland waters in 1770. When the results were announced the competition had joint first prize winning projects: the Lions Club of Yeppoon for a holiday camp on Great Keppel Island and artist, Peggy Westmoreland’s for her Singing Ship monument.
