Well this place didn't disappoint.
All set up we headed down to the water to watch the sun set. Seems it is a tradition there as everyone was on the beach.
The next morning we were all up early and headed off for a nice walk along the beach before breakie. After this we did the butterfly walk along the headland where you can drop down on the the beach in a few spots. Kids managed to get a little "Crane training in".
The Butterfly Walk was nice although limited in butterflies.....even managed to see a couple of butterflies, well its called the Butterfly walk not Butterflies so we should be happy with the ones we saw.
After returning to camp for a little morning tea it was off to the headland for another adventure, the wind was blowing but the views were magnificent, reminded me a little of Straddie (Pt Lookout).
Still with more to see we kept on, stopping at the next area where there was this massive anchor, came off a ship the sunk on the reefer off 1770 in 1854, it turned up after a cyclone a few years ago and was restored.
Next stop was head towards Agnes Waters and see what we could find, after a few dead ends we arrived at Red Rock walk, takes you down along the coast just south of the township of Agnes Waters. There is a good walking track that leads you down on to a great spot, Spring Beach.
Kids had a play and I went about trying to find some pippies for the afternoon fishing expedition that was planned with Charlie. Nothing of any size but there were a couple of young guys trying to catch beach worms......not very successfully though but they did have a few.
With the assistance of their berley and a little bit of pippie I set about catching a few, seems I can still do it. Only needed a few and gave the others to them.
The kids had more fun running a muck as we were trying to get the worms to come up.
Time seems to fly when you are looking for these guys, after getting enough it was time to rush back to the camping ground where Charlie had a 2pm hair cut scheduled. Seems that one of the campers is a hairdresser from Yamba and does a few each day to pay his way, good result for all and Charlie is looking sharp again.
Now fishing was on, Charlie and I headed off with our live worms to catch a feed, there is no better bait only problem was the amount of small stuff out there. They were definitely hungry, nothing really to report on the keeper side but we both managed to catch a few small things and Charlie even got a pike (kept for bait for something bigger).
We headed back to join Cindy and Emi on the beach, here even Cindy caught her first fish of the time, a little small but a fish is a fish.
Fishing done for the day it was time to take up position on the beach and wait for the sun to set, far better than the previous night.
Well that was 1770, could really have spent a few more days but we must push on, not before one last fish just to see if we could catch that big one. Alas the little pecker fish ate all the worms and we were done.
Next stop Duaringa Station to catch up with Sarah D, quick stop in Rockhampton to pick up some supplies.
