Keppel Bay Area
Keppel Bay, a coastal indent with about 30 km of shoreline on Queensland's central Capricorn Coast, runs southwards from Emu Park to Curtis Island, a large island extending to Gladstone. Keppel Bay was named by Captain James Cook in 1770 after Augustus Keppel (1725-86), a Lord Commissioner of the Admiralty and later First Lord of the Admiralty.
