Capricorn region : ウィキペディア英語版
Capricorn Coast

The Capricorn Coast is a stretch of coastline in Central Queensland, Australia and is part of the Rockhampton Region. The region straddles the Tropic of Capricorn, after which it is named.
The Capricorn Coast is over 150 kilometres from end to end yet comparatively small in population, with dozens of towns and islands scattered along its length. The region has a rich history going back to the 1850s.
Centred on the town of Yeppoon, the Capricorn Coast has retail and service amenities that rival larger towns, and twenty-five minutes away is Stockland Rockhampton, the largest shopping centre between Maroochydore and Cairns, as well as many other shopping precincts around the city.
The Capricorn Coast offers five star resorts, historical towns, snorkelling, bush retreats, beaches, rainforest retreats, island adventures, bushwalking, wildlife sanctuaries, a marina and a crocodile farm.
==Definition==

While the Capricorn Coast has no registered geographic boundaries, it is largely defined as the coastal area cradled between Rockhampton in the west, Keppel Bay〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.newspapers.com.au/QLD/ )〕 to the east, Thompson Point on the Fitzroy River〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cchs.org.au/capcoast.htm )〕 in the south, and Shoalwater Bay〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://mycapricorncoast.com/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.great-barrier-reef-holiday.com.au/great-barrier-reef-capricorn-coast.aspx )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.news.com.au/four-rescued-from-sinking-catamaran-in-shoalwater-bay/story-e6frg12c-1226186465545 )〕 in the north. Beyond Shoalwater Bay, the remote community of Stanage (or Stanage Bay) is often defined as part of the Capricorn Coast as well.
An alternative definition suggests that the Capricorn Coast extends south to include Gladstone and the towns of Agnes Water and 1770,〔 however the bulk of reference materials refer to that region north of Bundaberg as the Discovery Coast〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.discoverycoast.com.au/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://dctc.com.au/ )〕 or the Gladstone Region,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gladstoneregion.info/destinations/island-wonders/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gladstone.qld.gov.au/web/guest/about-gladstone-region )〕 and that north of Gladstone, the string of seaside communities surrounding Rockhampton and centred upon Yeppoon, is called the Capricorn Coast.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://senatormacdonald.org/speeches48.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sydney-australia.biz/queensland/capricorn/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.yellowpages.com.au/qld/yeppoon/capricorn-coast-mirror-12897812-listing.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ozblog.net.au/index.php/queensland/capricorn-coast/the-capricorn-coast-of-queensland/ )
It is possible that scholarly confusion stems from the geographical region known as Capricornia centred on Rockhampton, which historically encompasses all areas both coastal and inland between Bundaberg and Mackay.
Then there is the Federal Government seat of Capricornia again based in Rockhampton, which also takes in a large section of the same area,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aec.gov.au/profiles/qld/capricornia.htm )〕 and then finally the Capricorn Region, which is a tourism body that promotes all areas within the Capricornia geographical region.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.capricornholidays.com.au )
Pointedly, of the 19 Queensland Registered Businesses that incorporate "Capricorn Coast" in their names, every one is located in Yeppoon and surrounding townships.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.yellowpages.com.au/search/listings?clue=capricorn+coast&locationClue=All+States&x=42&y=3 )〕 There are none in Gladstone, Mackay, or Discovery Coast regions, or indeed in Rockhampton itself. This indicates support for the view that Yeppoon is the principal town on the Capricorn Coast, and that this region only extends to the boundaries of its neighbours.
