Yeppoon, with its mild yet glorious weather, a range of Australian fauna and gorgeous scenery, is a stunning destination to explore. It is a gem on Queensland’s Capricorn Coast, with a waterfront that boasts numerous pristine beaches and ample water activities. If driving out of central Yeppoon is not a problem for you, don’t forget to plan a visit to the world-famous Cooberrie Park Wildlife Sanctuary and feed a range of indigenous wildlife such as koalas and kangaroos. What’s more, this brilliant Australian city is not just a winner for tourists, but also for furry friends. Dogs are allowed at landmarks such as Farnborough Beach, and the ferry to the nearby Great Keppel Island is also dog-friendly. So this is the perfect place to bring your dogs for a trip!
