AUSTRALIA - SUSSEX INLET - 8/9/10 january 2013

After the snorkel, we drove to Sussex Inlet and caught up with Jacinta's workmate and friends. We had a great night eating and drinking. We stayed at Sussex Palms, which is a lovely small camp/caravan park.

The following day, was very hot and we drove to Barrara for a swim. The beaches were very nice and the water was icy cold. By midday, the wind started blowing even hotter and the bushfires started. It wasn't long before sussex Inlet was cut off from the north and south. We were relatively safe as the fires were some distance away. We spent the afternoon in the camp pool.

On Wednesday, Jacinta and I went for a bike ride along the foreshore of Sussex Inlet. It was very pleasant.

AUSTRALIA - QUEENSLAND - 1770 and Agnes Waters - october 2003

The township of 1770 nad Agnes Waters is locateed north of Bundaberg on the Queensland coast. 1770 is a small fishing town beside a large bay where the river empties out forming massive sandbars. The view is excellent of the bay. Birdlife here is abundant. No need for alarm clocks. The estuary is good for boating and if conditions are right the windsurfing is excellent.

Agnes Waters is a short distance away but is an upmarket trendy little town. The beach has waves and a sandy point  that can hold a big swell.

AUSTRALIA - Kosciuszko NP - Three Mile Creek Dam - january 2006

 

We camped for two nights at this quiet and pretty place. The water in the dam was cold. There was a variety of birdlife and it was fun boating on the water.
