At 1770

Wednesday 3rd June 2009
Left Childers stopping of for some groceries etc before heading for Bundaberg and on to the 1770 camp sight. www.1770campinggrounds.com Named after Captain Cooks first landfall in Queensland on the 24th May 1770 when the town celebrates his arrival with an annual festival. This area has as virtually remained unchanged for over 200 years. www.townof1770-agneswater.com .
Set up camp at 3pm after driving through some light rain and vast areas of sugar cane and avocado trees. Pickers could be seen working away.
Left the camp site at 6.30 to run into Agnes Waters and the pub on the courtesy bus. Had a good meal and watched NSW lose the game with a whole bunch of Queenslanders. Though there was some good support from all the NSW tourists. Picked up and came home in the pouring rain. Still quite warm and pleased to say no leaks in the trailer except from an open skylight we forgot to close.
