Agnes Water/Town of 1770

Nic body boarding - woo hoo!

We had heard a lot about this place from quite a few people. The Town of 1770/Agnes Water was apparantly the first place Captain Cook saw of Australia on his voyage back in 1770! It was so un-commercialised and the locals so friendly we didn't want to leave. The fact that this whole area is surrounded by national parks meant no more development is allowed - some of the most basic houses/shacks we saw were worth a cool $2.2 million because if this. You would get an outside rain water shower and a compost toilet at the end of the garden for that!

We basically chilled out here (sense a running theme?) made use of the free body boards, which Nic is getting pretty good at now and sunned ourselves on the beach! We also met a couple here from Eastcote here who went to Haydon and live just off Cheney street! Bizarre! A walk through the rainforest on route to the beach gave us a bit of a fright - 6 wasp stings between us for no reason at all - yet another thing now to bear in mind next time we walk though a rainforest...!
