Surf's up!!
It was quite a drive to Agnes Water from our rest stop, so we allowed plenty of time to get to our 10am surf lesson and set off at about 7.30am. Another early start! But we arrived just in time to get ourselves sorted and changed, and headed for the ...

What to do...
Den 21. gik turen saa videre mod 1770. Er ikke helt sikker paa detaljerne, men det er noget med at det her var det foerste sted James Cook i sin tid gik i land. Om det saa er aaret hvor han gik i land, ved jeg ikke. Der var ikke saa meget andet at give ...

Roxy and Rump hit the waves

Expedition "Tourist Attraction"
In our continued efforts to see real live kangaroos we followed the coast road north and eventually made it up to the Town of 1770/Agnes Water. It turned out to be one of our favorite towns. The surf was small but the fish were fantastic and the Lady ...
Radical...
We've been slacking again on the blogging front so prepare for a mass update of the last few weeks on the East Coast. Agnes Water has probably been our favourite stop along the east coast so far. Its a small town which has only recently become part of ...

Tuesday 17 November 2009 1770 and Agnes Water Another spot we were keen to see - but it was incredibly windy, full of backpackers, a grubby campground (advertised as being "right on the beach" but was actually on a rocky/muddy estuary). A bonus though was ...
