Travels and adventures we have enjoyed over the years. (Posts with down arrows after mean they have sub-posts that relate to them). Just select the one you want and schroll to the bottom of the list.
Seventeen Seventy & Agnes Waters
Agnes Waters is a small resort town south of Tannum Sands that is right on the coast. It hosts many camping facilities as well as hotels and many rentals. The coastline features rocky shores and thick forests where anyone can find a hike or activity of interest. Seventeen Seventy is a smaller part of Agnes Waters, newer but just as much fun. Nancy and I went there one day just to get away and had a great time.

Andy (our son) and his family camped in Agnes Waters 4th of July week. Nancy and I went down and spent the 4th with them. We did hot gogs, burgers, and watermelon. The tables and awnings were decorated in Red, White and Blue balloons, and we all had red, white and blue plates, napkins, and silverware. It didn’t take the Australians camping there long to figure out we were all Yanks. (They are actually jealous cuz they are still stuck with the King and England!) We had a swell time even though it rained a bit. Christian enjoyed the sparklers after it got dark.
