Bundaberg and the city of 1770

Our next Destination is Bundaberg, a nice little town quite like the others we have seen in Queensland. Its main attraction is the brewery. Bunderberg Rum and beverages are famous around Australia. The whole area is covered with sugar cane. That's probably why the rum industry started.
Our next night stop is Agnes Water, close to 1770 (or Seventeenseventy). The city was named after the year James Cook first entered Queensland. Of cause he first set foot on Australian soil in New South Wales near Sydney. But different states, different “first times” Although this place is quite popular among local tourists (its Easter weekend after all), There is not really much to do here. It is the beautiful beaches and rock formations that attract campers and backpackers.

All camping sites in 1770 were indeed full booked (Easter weekend). But we got a space in the outskirts of Agnes Water, right in the bush land. A little path leads to a piece of beach that  we had almost exclusively for ourselves. Of cause you shouldn't enter the water. There are deadly poisonous jelly fish all around. Also typical for Australia, there were free barbecue facility to use. So we had our first outdoor barbeque (with many more to come :D). They all use gas, so you only have to bring your food. I wish we had these in parks at home as well.
