29th May Agnes Waters

It had to happen, woke up to a slightly overcast sky and the gentle drops of rain on the canvas. Sooooooo we decided to stay another couple nights as we knew the weather was going to improve over the weekend. Read the Saturday papers in the morning and did some general housework around the place and by mid day the sun was shinning once again.
Drove out to the 1770 Headland and lookout and walked up the track to view the magnificent views up and down the coast line and the entry to the 1770 inlet. We had done this walk the last time we were here but it was well worth doing again and also to see the Kangaroos roaming around and feeding on the grassy headland.

Had a light lunch and then headed to the beach for a swim.  With the tide out the walk out to any depth was quite a way, however the water was warm and I enjoyed a go at some body surfing and watching the surf school taking the overseas tourists through the basics of board surfing with some of the having some success at getting up and riding a few waves in. It was all very tame but the gentle waves were good enough for the lessons.
With Manly playing the cowboys I decided after dinner to take a short drive up to the local Tavern to watch the game on their TV"s. The usual thing in these places meant there was no sound on and a lot of noise from the local rock group performing in the main lounge, however I watched most of it before driving back and listening to the last stressful 20 minutes when Manly were squandering a 24 point lead and only managing to get a win in by 4 points, which was with great luck. Finally we watched a DVD and bed.
