Agnes Waters 1770 and Gootchie Creek Escape

It's been many years since we last visited Agnes Waters and 1770. Back then, the access road from the Bruce Highway was dirt. At that time, this area was just a sleepy spot that had not grown much, but it is now bursting with development. We were heading south, so this stop was brief and probably our last visit here. We stayed at The Summit in Agnes Waters and initially booked an unpowered site. However, upon arrival, it was clear that camping in that section was impossible due to the uneven ground. Thankfully, there was a powered site available for our stay.

Besides having a good look around, we shopped and enjoyed lunch on one of our days along the waterfront in 1770. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch, especially my crumbed red emperor.

From here, we headed further south along the busy Bruce Highway to our next stay at Gootchie Creek Escape, just south of Bauple. It is a six-hundred-acre property located just over one kilometre west of the Bruce Highway. We arrived on a Thursday and chose a site along Gootchie Creek, although there are many sites on the property. The usual facilities, including showers, toilets, and a dump point, are available on site. The facilities can be seen in the background.

Sadly, our peaceful campsite was spoiled on Friday afternoon when the crowds arrived with their noisy children and loud music, which played late into the night. Fortunately, we only booked for two nights; otherwise, we would have left anyway. If you enjoy peace and quiet, I recommend camping here only during the week, not during school holidays.
