Sunday 30th May Agnes Waters

A  beautiful day. Not a cloud in the sky. Sat outside and read the Sunday papers, the usual stuff, don't know why we bother some times.

After lunch went back down to the beach which we can see from our camp site and is only a 100 metres away.
The tide was up so swimming was easier with water being much deeper, however a short swim would get you out to one of the sand banks and you could walk with the water just covering your ankles. It created some small body surfing waves which I enjoyed along with Beatrice having a swim out of her depth. ( No she says she was floating in the shallows)

Put on our walking shoes again and drove out about 4 km along Springs Rd to the start of the Red Rock Walking Trail. The blurb said a reasonable amount of fitness is required as there are steep inclines,a boardwalk and stone steps, however the scenery is superb. We found the sign 'Reedy Creek' and drove down the 800 metres along the gravel track and then started the walk following the bollards marking the trail it
 was really quite superb, we walked the boardwalk and the trail down to the beach and walked along for 500 mtrs to the next part of the trail which was a winding path up and over the headlands. Here were the stone steps and the steep inclines but it was all worth it as we could see for miles up and down the coastline.

 It must have been just as it was before white man set foot on this part of the world, except of course for the signs and the marked paths which are necessary to stop the erosion of the bush. We crossed over the headlands making it almost to the end of the trail and then decided to head back as we were mindful of the early sunsets and didn't want to be caught trying to find our way back in the dark.

On returning to the car quicker than we thought and with some daylight left we drove back down the 800 mtrs to the road and then  further along to the Deepwater National Park.  We wanted to see how the owners of the multi million homes accessed their properties which we could see as we walked the track. It seems that it would have been through a heavy timber gated entrance which was all controlled with intercoms and very very private.
With that we headed back to Agnes Waters to stop off at the Caltex garage to fill up ready for our departure tomorrow morning.
Well, having been here last year and having had another good look around we both agree that 1770-Agnes Waters has a lot to offer and our visit has once again been very enjoyable.
