1170 - Agnes Water

There was a little more rain overnight but we woke up to patches of blue sky and the clouds looked like they were going to clear. It was pancake Sunday. After our yummy breakfast and a couple of loads of washing we went for a bike ride to the Marina to find out about the day trips to Lady Musgrave Island. After considering the weather forecast and the numbers booked we decided to book the Tuesday cruise which was on the smaller boat. We rode back and had a hot chocolate at 'The Tree' a great cafe/bar overlooking the water. After toasted sandwiches for lunch we drove to Eurimbula National Park . The turn off was about 10km out of Agnes Water along a bush track. We stopped at the Ganoonga Lookout and did the steep walk to the top for panoramic views of the park and Bustard Bay (apparently named this by James Cook because thats what they caught to eat here). We continued on driving along the sandy bush track to Bustard Beach and the mouh of the Eurimbula Creek.  We went for a walk and tried to spot the crabs before they ducked back in their holes. It was nearly dark by the time we got back. We cooked whiting for dinner (thanks Ken). After the kids were in bed we watched Black Swan - there is no TV reception here.
