The weather was grim when we arrived but we managed to have a quick drive around to get our bearings. The rain set in and we had only 2 sunny days out of 6. With very wet and windy days we spent 2 days in the van, had one day on the headland at 1770, then 2 more days in the van, then one full day to do 3 other walks. We had a great walk into town with our raincoats on to break the day, and lovely fish and chips at the river between showers. We actually didn’t feel cooped up or bored, probably because we have hardly had to spend time in doors, we have been blessed with excellent great weather.
Our second set of solar panels (we have a fixed set on the roof) ensured we had plenty of solar on the rainy dull days. We loved our view and space at our very rustic campground 2km out of town, but were very exposed on the hillside.. and had trouble making it feel cosy and homely. Our plan was to stay at Workman’s Beach camp ground but it is still closed.
The headland walks we did at 1770
Views both sides
The river, definitely prettier with the tide in
Butterfly rainforest half way along the trail
Awesome lonely mangrove, we don’t know how it survives
Agnes Waters headland walk .... view from lookout, also did Workman’s and Springs beach trails
Back towards Agnes main beach and 1770 headland
Too choppy to fish or swim
A big favourite was the 400m circuit walk through the Paper Bark forest....the filtered sunlight made it feel enchanted
Glad we left it for a sunny day
Beautifully cooked steak and roast veg on our Baby Q Weber BBQ....thanks Derek
And finally our bird of the week a magpie nesting on top of a sporting club house at Miriam Vale........seriously?
