Yeppen Yeppen Lagoon is on the South side of Rockhampton, the Capricorn Highway meets up with the Bruce Highway and heads into Rockhampton past the Yeppen Yeppen Lagoon. Only recently there have been major highway upgrades again to overcome the flooding from that low area.

The question we need to ask is what attracted Edwin to Rockhampton?

Here is a possible reason for removing from Snake Valley ....  a ferocious dog flew at and bit a man named Edwin Carpenter on the arm .... but it is June 1861 ... so was Edwin Carpenter travelling back and forth from Rockhampton to Ballarat .... or was there more than one chap named Edwin Carpenter in Ballarat    ...
