thread_title:  This Page Of Yeppoon Should Be Written With Twice as many as there is! 

message: Over the past week I've been building the Capricorn Coast page into something more than a few lines.  I've done a hell of a lot of research and I've lived here most of my life, so have the benefit of local knowledge when it comes to know what to search for.
I found the Yeppoon page and it was light on content and read a lot like a tourist brochure (no offence anyone) so I've added a fair bit of info, largely culled from the capcoast page.
I do see 2 problems though.  First, Yeppoon in an encyclopaedic sense, especially post LGA-reforms, is really just the area bounded by Ross Creek up to Barwells' Creek, and say west to Bondoola (roughly).  Taranganba, Cooee Bay, and Bangalee are separate gazetted localities (even before LGA changes).  Taking that thought process further, outlying areas like Rosslyn Bay, Emu Park, Byfield etc are irrelevant to talk about in detail on this page save to mention their proximity perhaps.
The problem with writing about Yeppoon is that it's not an isolated place where one can say, OK this is our history.  To write the geography and history with enough detail to provide the full picture, one has to look at the greater area, eg Yeppoon was not the first place on the coast to be settled - It was one of the last.  For say, a grade 6 student doing a local history project, they won't find out much at all just looking at Yeppoon's localised history.  That's where the Capricorn Coast page comes in, and if anyone is wondering, that's why I've added extra links.  If there is to be information on the region in Wikipedia, let's make it as comprehensive as possible.
If anyone wants to help contribute to the Capricorn Coast page, it would be really great.  I've taken the liberty of inserting 'expand info boxes' where info that I know about, is needed.  No doubt there are other things I don't know about so please, please, please contribute to the page.
