Agnes Waters & 1770

 1-6 December: Agnes Waters

Set off to Agnes via a morning stop in Rockhampton. A larger town than i had expected, with some beautiful historic buildings and a great riverside park.



We arrived in Agnes Waters-  a beautiful secluded beachfront camp, like a hidden gem within the Gladstone region. It feels like a definate change of patronage though, with no interstate travellers, more queenslanders on their annual holiday. 

There was plenty of body boarding & surfing, soccer & games on the beach, morning runs, picnics in The town of 1770 & exploring the area.






The town of 1770 has been built on the site of the second landing in Australia by James Cook & the crew of HM Bark Endeavour in May 1770. It is one of 4 places on the east coast where you can enjoy the sunset over the ocean. 







We spent a day exploring the beautiful Paperbark Forest near Agnes.





We also enjoyed 4wdriving through Deep Water National Park where we swam & surfed at Wreck Rock. We had this  whole stretch of coast to ourselves.









We are now on the countdown to Noah's birthday and of course Xmas, so a bit of time was spent crafting up a storm! 




We hit the road again tomorrow, ready for the next adventures.
