  • Description

    Description

    I live in Yeppoon, a beautiful coastal town on the Capricorn Coast, Central Queensland Australia with my three children, we have recently returned from 5 years in Germany. My kids are aged 10, 6 and 4; two girls and one boy. I work full-time, some days at home the others across the region.
    This area is amazing if you like beaches, rocky headlands and tropical gardens. The local market always has delicious tropical fruits from local growers and Yeppoon is big enough have all the facilities you need, plus plenty of cafes, restaurants and nighttime venues.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    My children all speak German and English, otherwise culturally you'll experience an active Australian outdoor lifestyle. We go swimming, snorkelling, beach walks, drive up the beach in the 4x4, camping by the freshwater creeks, sitting around our outdoor fire pit and basically making the most of the daylight hours.
