Rosslyn Bay has a reasonably large man made harbour, which is home to a number of commercial fishing vessels as well as being the mainland terminal for ferries that service the [[Keppel Islands]]. It also has a large marina complex for local pleasure vessels and visiting yachties. The harbour is approximately 8kms south of [[Yeppoon]]. Yeppoon is quite small, but has a good range of shops and supermarkets for a town its size, and caters reasonably well to the boating community, as so many people in the town and the surrounds spend time on and around the water. There isn't really a ships chandler (other than the very small one in the Marina office), but most requirements can be met within the town. There are two good sized hardware stores, a specialist paint store that stocks some marine paints. The pool shop has a good supply of hoses, and so on. The town has 2 small shopping centres as well, each centre having one of the major chains (the Plaza has a Coles and Central has a Woolworths). The shopping centres are on the same bus route that services the marina and harbour generally (the No. 20 bus that travels between Emu Park and Rockhampton and Rockhampton Airport).

Map of Rosslyn Bay

Rosslyn Bay is in the centre of the larger Keppel Bay, and is the gateway to the Keppel Islands, including Great Keppel Island.

Rosslyn Bay has a reasonably large man made harbour, which is home to a number of commercial fishing vessels as well as being the mainland terminal for ferries that service the Keppel Islands. It also has a large marina complex for local pleasure vessels and visiting yachties. The harbour is approximately 8kms south of Yeppoon. Yeppoon is quite small, but has a good range of shops and supermarkets for a town its size, and caters reasonably well to the boating community, as so many people in the town and the surrounds spend time on and around the water. There isn't really a ships chandler (other than the very small one in the Marina office), but most requirements can be met within the town. There are two good sized hardware stores, a specialist paint store that stocks some marine paints. The pool shop has a good supply of hoses, and so on. The town has 2 small shopping centres as well, each centre having one of the major chains (the Plaza has a Coles and Central has a Woolworths). The shopping centres are on the same bus route that services the marina and harbour generally (the No. 20 bus that travels between Emu Park and Rockhampton and Rockhampton Airport).

It is best to re-fuel at mid to high tide, as the harbour is quite shallow on that side. Warning: In 2007 I purchased fuel at the Fishermans Co-Op. After having the proprietor shout at me that they had the "cleanest fuel in all Queensland" and telling me off for using a Baja filter slowing down the refuelling process, I put about 300 litres of fuel through the Baja filter. After finishing fuelling I found a fair amount of water and a dead mouse in the filter. Delatbabel

Provisioning

  • In Keppel Bay Marina
  • Coles supermarket is located within Keppel Bay Plaza in Yeppoon (on bus route 20 from the marina).
  • Woolworths is located within the Yeppoon Central Shopping Centre (on bus route 20 from the marina).
  • There are 2 hardware stores in town, both in Tanby Road and in walking distance of Yeppoon Central Shopping Centre.
  • Also on Tanby Road between Yeppon Central and the hardware stores is a pool and tank business which has a good range of hoses (including fuel hose), a Repco Store (automotive spares), Yeppon Industrial Supplies, an Electrical wholesaler that sells to the public, and a number of other useful businesses.

Eating out

  • The Waterline is situated within the marina complex, and is one of the better restaurants in the area. It's not super cheap, but it's not masly expensive either.
  • Beaches Restaurant is part of the Rosslyn Bay Resort, and has a fairly mixed menu from Asian fusion through to Pizza. It is a short walk from the marina itself
  • The Fishermans Co-Operative has a great range of fresh and frozen seafood - including fresh mud crabs, making your own boat one of the better places to eat after a trip over to that side of the harbour to get some of the good stuff they sell. They don't cook there, you would have to take your purchase back to your boat to cook yourself
  • The Keppel Bay Sailing Club is in Yeppoon itself, and has reasonable club style food at club style (reasonable) prices.


Transportation

  • Young's Bus Service (run by the State Government) has regular services that stop in Rosslyn Bay. Route 20 goes to Emu Park one way, and to Rockhampton the other, including services to and from Rockhampton airport.

  • Delatbabel -- Brief stop by in October 2007. The marina was pleasant and the staff were helpful but the fuel dock has problems.
