We weren't too sure what to expect from this tiny little dot on the map of the east coast but actually we have been pleasantly surprised. We have a lovely little hostel near the beach and the weather is lovely, which is a good thing coz there really is very little to do here except relax and that is so much easier in the sun!

we have managed to entertain ourselves with a scooter roo tour though! This is basically some local guy who owns a load of scooters and rents them out for a tour around the local area. david and I doubled up on our 'little blue devil' along with about 30 others. Both Agnes Water and Town of 1770 are set entirely within national park so we had plenty of opportunity to see some local wild wallabies and kangaroos. We were taken through some beautiful park land and up to a look out where the views over the ocean were just lovely.

The main stop on the tour was at a local watering hole to have a drink and watch the sunset over the sea. We of course participated and felt very relaxed and content! Then it was back on the bikes for the return leg of the journey. This time as it was much duskier, the kangaroos were out in force. A huge troop of them decided to hope along side of us keping up easily with our 50 -60 kph. Then they decided to hop straight infront of our bike to get to the bushland on the other side of the road - what a sight, they really are HUGE up close and amazingly powerful and beautiful.

Then it was off to stand as a group under a kangaroo road sign in order for us to be offical scooter-rooers!!
