Geography

Lammermoor is nestled against the Pacific Ocean overlooking Keppel Bay, and is centrally located on the Capricorn Coast, five kilometres (3.1 mi) south of Yeppoon, and 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) north of Emu Park. It has a long sandy beach.

Often regarded as a suburb of Yeppoon, Lammermoor is in fact a separate locality like its neighboring suburb Taranganba.

The Scenic Highway is the main drive for locals and tourists which is passes along the beach of Lammermoor.

Population

In the 2011 census, Lammermoor had a population of 1316 people.

Community

Lammermoor is a steadily growing community. Several major land developments in Tarranganba and the neighbouring localities of Lammermoor and Taroombal are filling quickly with demand from the mining boom.

Lammermoor features a Catholic School, Sacred Heart School Yeppoon, while secondary students travel to Yeppoon.

Many residents of Lammermoor work in Rockhampton City and live on the coast.

Recent history
