Agnes Waters 1770 and Gootchie Creek Escape

It's certainly been many years since we last visited Agnes Waters and 1770. Then, the access road from the Bruce Highway was dirt.

In those days, this area was just a sleepy location that had not grown but was now bursting at the seams with development.

We were heading south, so this stop was short and probably would be the last time we came here again.

We stayed at The Summit in Agnes Waters and had initially booked an unpowered site, but once we arrived, it would have been impossible to camp in this section with the uneven ground. So luckily, there was a powered site for our stay.

Apart from 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, particularly my crumbed red emperor.

From here, we ventured 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 just over one kilometre west of the Bruce Highway. We arrived on a Thursday and chose a site along Gootchie Creek, but there are unlimited sites on the property. The usual facilities, including showers, toilets, and a dump point, are on site. The facilities can be seen in the background.

Unfortunately, our idyllic campsite was shattered on Friday afternoon once the hordes arrived with their noisy children and doof doof music, played loudly late into the night. Luckily, we only booked for two nights; otherwise, we would have left anyway. So if you enjoy serenity, I would only camp here during the week, not during the school holidays.
