Celebrating our wedding anniversary has turned into more of a family celebration these days, the girls get just as excited as we do! So it seems only fitting that we do something all together as a family, so this year we packed the car up and went to a little beach down the coast called Agnes Waters, in the township of 1770! Wow, this place is absolutely beautiful! I can see why the locals live there! With not much there other than a beach and a rainforest it would be easy enough to think it could get boring, but somehow I don't think so. The water is crystal clear, there are surf waves, and there are bays with no waves at all, just the flat serenity of calm water! There is lots and lots of bush walks, most lead to the beach (well, the ones we found did anyway) and islands to go and explore too, but you can only get there by boat! People there are so nice and quite carefree! The main beach just buzzes with all walks of life, there are the surfers, lots of kids being taught how to surf by their dads, something that you just don't really see these days! There are families everywhere! Teenagers hanging out! Lots of backpackers! Hippies! Retirees! Everyone, and everyone seems to get along! We stayed in a little cabin, it looked out over a pool onto the treetops and in the far distance over all the treetops we could see the beach ... This place us truly amazing! Oh, and I almost forgot ... It was raining for the whole first day!!! And it was still this spectacular!!! Ofcourse when the sun finally did come out it was even more spectacular!!!
The girls had fun too, we went exploring, swimming, lots of swimming! They helped daddy wax his surfboard, and Taylah gobbled her dinner down faster than I have ever seen her eat ... Even her veges!!! Felicity finally went to sleep too!!! We also discovered that just maybe Tay could be a marathon runner ;) ... We went for a 2pm walk/run to the beach and couldn't believe it, as long as we let Tay be the leader she was a solid competitor, just didn't stop ... Or slow down ... The only reason I (kind of) kept up to her at the end was because I couldn't let her be alone on the bush, boy, was I puffed! Was very proud of her, even more so when we read the sign that told us we had just ran/walked 2km, Tay was pretty proud too!!!
Overall, this place a definately a hidden gem! So far out of the way off the highway! A place you never hear about! I am so glad we found this place though, such a peaceful spot, with so much love in the air, so many reasons to sit back and enjoy life! I cannot wait to go back there again !!!
