Day 37 Saturday 17th August Getting a little too close to nature in 1770!

There was much to see in this historical town with national parks and gorgeous waterways all around. Our first stop was a paper-bark forest boardwalk. It was well signed and a fairly easy and short walk although there were some spots which required a little balancing….not my strong point. Anyway we were half way through this lovely walk when Rob thought he noticed an unusual “stick”. Then he realised it was moving. It was a very long and well-fed brown snake! Some young women were behind us and we told them about what we’d just seen and so they said they would stay behind us. Rob led the way and we just made sure we made lots of noise! From here we did a beautiful walk along the beach to Springs Beach and then some climbing up to Rocky Point. Following this we returned back to Agnes Waters main beach. This beach was patrolled and there were many people swimming and surfing. This is a popular area to learn to surf and stand-up paddle-board. We found a nice café for coffee before heading back to the caravan for lunch. Later in the afternoon, Rob dropped me and the kayak off at the huge tidal area of Round Hill Creek to do some exploring while he went back to the van to do a few jobs. I enjoyed my paddle and Rob returned around sunset and we both enjoyed the stunning sunset. We have been told the 1770 is only one of 3 locations on the east coast that has sun sets over the sea, thence lots of  sunset photos.
