Yeppoon area

This is the kiln at the Nob Creek pottery about 40 km's away from the Resort which a friend of mine and I drove to while the rest were playing golf.
Then there is the so called singing ship, which is a piece of public art commemorating Captain Cook who passed in 1770. It is made so that when the wind blows through the pipes it 'sings' moans more like it. This is at Emu Creek which is near to Yeppoon. Jill and I are just in the photo. The ship was pretty quiet when we saw it as it was quite still.
Lovely views and the next photo is from the resort beach and shows Great Keppel Island and other islands around it. The resort on Keppel was closed so all thoughts of going out on the ferry were cancelled. Any way it was pretty rough as the effects of tropical cyclone Hamish were still being felt.
The last photo is of the three Brolgas, or Australian Native Cranes which were grazing around the edge of the golf course. They are lovely big grey birds with pink on them and when thay do their courtship dance they are quite magic.
