 At 2am on 29 November 1980, the day of the Queensland State election, a nitropril and fuel oil bomb was detonated with gelignite at the Iwasaki resort construction site north of Yeppoon.The blast created a seven metre wide crater in a block of holiday units under construction.Premier Joh Bjelke-Peterson and MP Ben Humphreys labelled the incident a terrorist attack, and a caller to Rockhampton's "The Morning Bulletin" newspaper claimed responsibility on behalf of the "Queensland Republican Army".
