On my many Exploring walks, I encountered a poignant plaque on Yeppoon's main beach, honoring a soldier who gave his life in the Great War.

I am filled with wonder about the fountain's origins, donated by MRS HERBERT WILLIAMS in loving memory of her son, KELSEY NORMAN.

Could it have been in this very spot? If you recall, please let us know.

KELSEY NORMAN, 2430, Gunner, 11th Australian Field Artillery Brigade, AIF, WWI, Age 26, Place of Death: Belgium, Cause of Death: KIA. May his sacrifice never be forgotten. Lest we forget.

Don't think that drinking fountain would be it in the second photo. Looks a bit too new🤔

I was itching to fly my drone over Or closer to the Iwasaki resort for a better look but What I've heard apparently that's not welcome.

I enjoyed a scenic walk today with my wife and her friend to Coconut Point National Park in Zilzie, along the Capricorn coast, taking in the awe-inspiring views of Timbers Beach and the islands off Emu Park and Keppel Sands. Although a strong gust blew in, the clear skies made it an ideal day for exploration.

This concrete outlet, situated on the Fitzroy River banks, is all that remains of the second Rockhampton Glenmore Power Station, which was commissioned in 1952 and decommissioned in 1980 before being demolished in 2010 for a training centre.

Was any aspect of Rockhampton's power history saved for preservation purposes? It is worth noting that a portion of the 1924 power station building still exists.

This morning, my destination on the Capricorn coast was Bluff Point, where I embarked on a refreshing walk. The conditions were ideal. Typically, one spots dolphins or sea turtles, but on this occasion, I observed two snorkelers exploring the area just off the point.
