Where is Rosslyn?

Rosslyn is a coastal town. It sits along the beautiful beaches near a rocky point called Statue Rock. This rock sticks out into the Coral Sea.

• The northern part of Rosslyn follows the coast. It starts at Statue Rock, goes along Statue Bay, and reaches Rosslyn Head.
• Rosslyn Head is where you'll find the Rosslyn Bay Boat Harbour, a place where boats are kept.
• The eastern side of Rosslyn also follows the coast. It goes from Rosslyn Head along Kemp Beach to another point called Bluff Point.

The Scenic Highway is a main road that runs through Rosslyn. It helps people travel along the coast.

Nature and Parks

Most of the land in Rosslyn is still natural and undeveloped.

• The area around Rosslyn Head is mostly a special protected place called the Capricorn Coast National Park. This park helps protect the natural environment.
• Inside the park, there's a marina for boats and a resort for visitors.
• Bluff Point is also part of this national park.
• Many inland areas of Rosslyn are "Crown land." This means the land is owned and managed by the Queensland Government for everyone.
