Time to allow

Organ-style pipes set into a tall mast hum and whistle when the wind blows, honouring Captain Cook's visit. The headland has wide views over Keppel Bay and the islands out to sea. A quick, free stop on the way between Rockhampton and Yeppoon.

Good to know

  • Stronger onshore wind makes it louder
  • Good spot for a picnic with the bay in view
