I'm in my happy place mmmmmm. In fact I think we were all in a very happy place at 1770 and Agnes Waters. This is the beach straight out from our van park and as Leah and Claire can attest it is a very long beach. They set out one morning at 8'ish to walk it and return. Well by 11'ish Jarrod and I thought we had better drive around at the different entries and try and find them. We did using Claire's binoculars!!!!!, long story short, Leah completed the entire length and return and Claire made it 3/4 all the way back before Dad rescu.......whoops picked her up. Great effort girls. Next time I think low tide would be easier!!!!!. I've got to say though, Leah's blisters are quite a talking point and have distracted everyone from my ailments and whinging!!!!!!!
Below is a lookout at 1770, named after Cook discovered it and docked in Bustard Bay. Both Jarrod and I thought it was 'Bastard Bay' because we can't spell !!!!. Still if you were here when it was windy and tried to dock I think our name would be more appropriate!!!!!!
Either way 1770 is a very very beautiful place with a river extending along its shores. At low tide you can walk along the sand spit just casting away with a fishing rod for ages as both the kids would agree. Jarrod won the fishing contest this time with the largest Flatty, mmmm. Tasted great mate.
Now that the kids can catch'em, I've just got to train Leah to gut'em and scale'em!!!!
Below is the look out above our van park at Agnes Waters. Its a very similar set up to Noosa or The Pass at Byron for all you surfers. It is really a great little wave winding down a sand bank for about 150-200m.
Below is Jarrod styling on a little wave. This wave was a brilliant wave to learn on and Jarrod mastered catching unbroken waves and cruising for up to 50m!!!!!
Claire got into the action as well!!!!!!, although their seems to be a Dugong following her!!!!
There's that darn Dugong again!!!!!!!!!!!
All of the above were of our last day when we finally took the camera with us!!!!!
The first couple of days were much bigger and fun, fun, fun!!!!
Below is what ya do after a big day of Sun, Surf and Fun. Happy hour at 1770.
Did I also say just how majic the sunsets are at 1770!!!. Don't know why Leah seems to have lost her right arm though!!!!!!!! Also if you look close enough you can see one of her 4 blisters.
Below is what the bar and restraunt look over, (notice sand bar at low tide, thats the one we fished)
I bet you all squinted and tried to find Leah's 4 blisters!!!!!!!!!!, ahhh their tiny, don't worry about em!!!!!
Anyway 1770 and Agnes Waters is a must for anyone travelling this way. Its very similar to small south coast villages with 'NO' Woolies or Coles and a really layed back way of life. From here we leave for Bundy to get the car serviced and then onto to ???????, maybe Fraser Island.
For anyone who wants to head away for the school holidays we are going to spend our last week (15th July- 22nd July) in Forster Beach Caravan Park, (the one next to the bridge on the Marina) and anyone is welcome to join us.
As we haven't left the confines of the 'Taj Mahal' for the entire trip, and the 'pull my finger joke has worn off a little!!!!!!!!!' we thought we might have a little bit of luxury and stay in a cabin right on the river for the last week.
