Edge On Beaches Agnes Waters

Well, I broke the drive on the Bruce Highway to discover a very relaxing and beautyfull spot: Agnes Water/Town 1770. The first morning, on the parking of the beach, Bruce (retired bloke) talked to me after having a walk with his staffies ... He invited me to spend some days to his 4 acres relaxing place. He gave me a glimpse of the non-working australian life style ... FANTASTICCCCCCCC !! Cheers mate<br>

... and knees which were already covered in grazes. The problem being the hire shop only had short boards compared with the longer boards the surf school use, which is a bit like taking the stabilizers off your bike on the day after getting your first bike for your birthday. Thankfully I wasn't the only one struggling as there were 2 guys who arrived shortly after me from the same surf school on Tuesday, we all tried to figure out what was going wrong but kept wiping out. I ...

... got a new ankle band.<br>We chilled out at our gaff for the rest of the afternoon worshiping the sun and using the washing machine as its free so anything that has had a good wash that normally gets left out because its to big or not worn very often. Its know time for some food and a beer, depending on how much I ache tom will decide on whether I go surfing again before we catch the overnight bus to Airlie Beach. <br><br>Gaz &amp; LJ

... at Agnes Water, which is the sister village to 1770 and the information office informed us that both the local camp sites had no powered or unpowered sites to be rented that night. She suggested going to a camp site we had seen on the way but we knew this was about 15 km away. So Jen pressed further, &#8216;what about if we go further along the road towards Bundaburg?&#8217; The reply was still gravely negative until she finally said, almost as an afterthought, &#8216 ...

... to meet them in Lightning Ridge, in opal country for a long weekend country music festival at Lorne Station. So we have planned our two weeks worth of stops to ensure we allow enough time to meet up with them some 1000km&#8217;s inland from Noosa.<br><br>During our stay here we walked a lot on sand tracks through the cliffs between our beach and the main surf beach at Agnes Waters and marvelled at the deep waters of the stunning inlet at 1770. We even ...

... hostel where you can actually make friends and have fun! It&#8217;s somewhat in the middle of nowhere but in a good way, and the cabin dorms are gorgeous with hammocks hanging outside each one.<br>Day one I decided just to check out the area and headed down to the beach. After 6 months in Mooloolaba the novelty of spending all day lying on yet another picture perfect Queensland beach has worn off a little, but it is gorgeous none the less. I was distracted trying to complete my tax ...

... in the middle of nowhere!!!!!! (Don't worry mums we have locked out stuff in the car!!!) <br><br>Over the next few days we are continuing to travel down the coast of Queensland. We were hoping that Sydney would be lovely and cool but oh no - Dave called last night and has told us it is expected to reach 28 at the weekend - it is the bloody winter!!!!!<br><br>Hope everyone is well,<br><br>Much love as always,<br><br>Emma and Ben xxx

... itching to get in. At first we took a quick walk on the island - which is formed entirely of dead coral and home to a number of white capped noddies and also some huge blue orb spiders (thankfully not poisonous!) We saw a number of turtle tracks - the island is a popular spot for laying eggs. We headed back to the pontoon, seeing some stingrays and also the shadow of a reef shark. Then the reallty fun part. We got kitted out and headed to the ...
