What is the history of Emu Park?

A scenic view of Emu Park

Emu Park, a small coastal community on the shores of Keppel Bay, evolved as cattle station owners established holiday homes on the beach after Captain Cook named Keppel Bay in 1870. It has retained much of its small-town charm and serves as a popular holiday spot, particularly along the waterfront where parklands and the famed Singing Ship sculpture capture the breeze.
