Agnes Water and Town of 1770
After the excitement of the Whitsundays, we decided we needed a bit of R&R before embarking on our next adventure - Fraser Island.
So we went down to Agnes Water and the Town of 1770. both of these are two very small towns and are basically so close together that they are almost just the one town. They are very quiet beach places and the scenery is absolutely amazing. We stayed in the cutest little camping ground and got woken up everyday by some funny birds whistling really badly and some kokaburras laughing their feathers off. Very funny!
Went on some drives around the area and had long walks on the beach, watching people surfing and paddling about. It was so hot, seriously it was frying your brain! Whilst there, we met two Swiss brothers who were quite funny - they went out for a snorkel trip and the weather was bad so they both were throwing up amongst all the other passengers who were also ill. Apparently even some of the crew were feeling it - how about that?
After our Whitsunday experience, we did feel for them. The whole area is just protected National Parks and Marine Parks, so everything around is so pristine and wild and really interesting. We went for a walk to the cliff edges as well and it's really amazing to watch the powerful South Pacific waves crash into the rocks.
We were planning on going to for a motorbike ride, but in the end decided against it and just went for walks talking about everything under the sun and enjoying each other's company. After two days of Agnes and 1770 though, we are ready for a bit more action, so we will make our way down to Harvey Bay via some country stops!
