Rocky outcrops
along the Capricorn Coast were formed by volcanic eruptions about 130 million
years ago.
Five reserves
south of Yeppoon are protected in this small park — Double Head, Rosslyn
Head, Bluff Point and Pinnacle Point, south of Yeppoon, and Vallis Park to
the north. Vallis Park has no public access.
The park protects
a variety of vegetation types from windswept low heath with scattered pandanus
and she-oaks to eucalypt/wattle open forest, dry rainforest, tussock grassland
and mangroves.
Location
Capricorn Coast is south
of Yeppoon. You can see all the park’s sections in a short half-hour
drive from Yeppoon to Emu Park.
