Day 12 June 18 Childers-Agnes Waters Town of 1770 220km

Drove the short distance to Agnes Waters and the Town of Seventeen Seventy. This is where Captain Cook first landed on "Queensland Soil" and is said to be the birth of Queensland.


We went for a fun ride on an amphibious craft called a LARC (Light Amphibious Resupply Carrier). These were from the US army and had been used to service the lighthouses in the 60s. This company had two of them and used them to run tours. It was great fun.

LARK

Agnes Waters has a beautiful beach. We stayed in a beach hut right next to the beach. It was very cozy, kind of like a big waterproof tent (with a en-suite out the back !!)
