The Great Barrier Reef
... docking pontoon, just after 10 am, it was slightly overcast, and got our snorkiling gear and jumped in. The entry to the water was kinda interesting, because it was immediatly in the place where the guides were feeding fish. No sharks, but still buggers ...
Agnes Water and 1770 - Scooteroo's baby!
... were even better. Kitted out on our mini chopper - mine was black with a hot rod paint job - we took off around 1770 and Agnes Water seeing the sights (local wildlife and scenery) Getting up to 80km/h and seeing the convoy of up to about 25 bikies is a ...
Kaenguruhs!!!

Cool Bananas
A 4.5 hour busride saw us arriving in the pitch-black sister towns of 1770/Agnes Water outside of our hostel Cool Bananas (which we couldn't see at first because it was so dark and the bus was blocking it!) Just a quick history note, the town of 1770 ...
Mein erster Surfkurs und jede Menge Rinder

My First Real Ozzie Experience

Proud as a father...
... , it's finally time to surf!!! The moment we've been waiting for and one of our major goals for the year. We arrived in Agnes Water yesterday, which is pretty much as far north as you can go, surfing wise. Upon recommendation we checked into Cool Bananas, ...
Kangaroos, Chimpanzees, Motorbikes and Surfing
... point I was beginning to miss driving through the vast nothingness of the Stuart Highway, with nothing in my way! We eventually reached Agnes Water just before it got dark and passed a huge train of badass biker folk. We assumed that was the Scooteroo ...
Agnes Waters & The Town of 1770

Town of 1770
We left Gladstone and drove to the small beach town of 'Town of 1770' A weird name for a plach eh! (It is the date when Cook landed here). It is a lovely quiet beach town, very rich but not too many tourists which is great! I went off for a walk by ...
Surf lesson and Flying Tour
On Thursday the 17th of May was my second attempt at surfing. It began at 10:30am and lasted for 2 and 1/2 hours. It probably was the worst surf lesson ever, it was given by a man of about 65 years old, who was definitely hung over or drunk or both. he ...
Discovery on the Discovery Coast

Beaches, crocs, outback, surfing - what a week!
... to try it but it was mad - I've never seen a coach slide around and wheelspin so much! We're now in a place called Agnes Waters where there's nothing to do but surf and lie in hammocks. We had our first surfing lesson this morning and it was awesome. We ...
Surfer Dude - Not!
... absolute miracle if I culd stand up. It's so easy to do when you are on the sand!!!! We were let lose into the water about 45 minutes into our session. There were 30 of us, all complete beginners, so you can imagine it was going to be carnage ...
Born to be wild in 1770!
I'd never heard of the town of 1770 or Agnes Water but Stephania who I met on the great ocean road said I should come here, so I arrived yesterday and am already regretting only booking two nights here - for the smallest town I've been to there's a lot to ...
Mit 50 Mini-Harleys auf Känguruh-Pirsch
Morgens mache ich mich zusammen mit Richard auf den Weg zum Workmen Beach - ist ein wenig weiter weg als der Mainbeach, soll dafür aber auch viel schöner und vor allem ruhiger sein. Nicht, dass man behaupten könnte, der Mainbeach sie überlaufen... ...
Christmas Eve, Day and Boxing Day
Christmas update! On Christmas eve they held a "Toga Party" with some snags (sausages) on the barbie (BBQ) for free. A good way to meet fellow travelers. It was fun as we all dressed in the Togas provided by the owners of the hostel. I met Micheal and ...

Scooteroo!
... on the roads. It was awesome. I managed to get mine up to 70 kmh. It wouldn't go any higher than this. We rode around Agnes Waters and 1770 looking out for Kanagaroo and Wallabies. We also stopped at the beach at 1770 to watch the sunset but it was ...
Mit 4WD durch den Regenwald
... für die Surflesson bei Simon an. Er ist unser Koch im Cool Bananas und gleichzeitig Kayak- und Surf-Instructor hier in Agnes Water. Diese Surfschule ist die etwas teurere, dafür sind aber auch die Gruppen deutlich kleiner und die Instructors können ...

Auf zur nächsten 10-Stunden-Tour im Greyhound
