bit of time with her seven month old son Tyce!<\/p>\n<p>Rockhampton and Yeppoon are situated in Central Queensland. \u00a0They are quiet, sleepy coastal towns that kinda embody the lifestyle you see on shows like\u00a0<em>Home and Away<\/em>. \u00a0People here are super chill and spend most of their free time surfing or chilling at a park\/pub etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
