Discover Byfield—The Hidden Emerald of the Capricorn Coast
Just 30 minutes north of Yeppoon, the bitumen gives way to a lush, green canopy, and the air turns cool and sweet. This is Byfield: a breathtaking wilderness frontier where the rainforest meets the sea, and time seems to stand still.
Often overlooked by the crowds heading to the islands, Byfield is a playground for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and those in desperate need of a "digital detox."
Why Byfield belongs on your bucket list:
The Pristine Waters of Stony Creek: Imagine a creek so clear you can see every pebble on the bottom. Upper Stony Creek is a local favorite for a refreshing dip, offering shaded picnic spots and tranquil swimming holes surrounded by towering ferns.
The Giant Dunes of Byfield National Park: For those with a 4WD, the adventure is unmatched. Traverse through pine plantations to reach the massive "Big Sandy" dunes and descend onto the rugged, untouched coastline of Five Rocks and Nine Mile Beach.
A Creative Heart: Byfield isn’t just about nature; it’s about soul. Visit the world-renowned Nob Creek Pottery to see master artisans at work, or wander through local galleries that draw inspiration from the surrounding wilderness.
Kayaking Waterpark Creek: Glide silently through the water as the rainforest closes in around you. Keep an eye out for the rare Byfield Fern and the flash of an azure kingfisher. It is one of the most peaceful paddling experiences in Australia.
The Flora & Fauna: Home to the unique Byfield Fern and a sanctuary for hundreds of bird species, the area is a living classroom. Don't be surprised if you share your morning coffee with a wallaby or a friendly kookaburra.

The Best of Both Worlds
