We woke up pretty early as there was no real protection from the sun and decided to hit the road straight away. So we got going just after 6 am. We headed south and decided to stop in and have a look at the other campground Eurimbula Creek. On the way we stopped and climbed up to the top of Ganoonga Noonga lookout which was a sharpshooter 800 metre walk. The view wasn't so good as it was overcast. The after the walk down we went onto the campground which seemed quite nice as it was nestled in behind the beach.
Then we headed into Agnes Waters and found quite a good bakery for an early morning tea. The drive to The Town of 1770 was quite different to when I was here many years ago as there has been a lot of development. It was hard to drive around as people seemed to be ignoring the parking restrictions and coming close to blocking off the main road. We went up to the main lookout at Round Hill Head and by now the sky was clear and it was getting hot.

To get away from the crowds we headed back through Agnes Waters to drive down through Deepwater National Park we stopped in at the campgrounds and I managed to catch with Anne and Paige at the Wrecks campground where they were involved in the annual Turtle research.
After lunch and a walk on the beach we decided we needed to head inland to get away from the crowds at the coast.
We picked Bilburin National park as it looked like it had a few camp grounds and wasn't used that much. So we wandered westwards towards it and after a 14 km drive we came to the first of the camp grounds - Granite creek. It was completely empty so we set up there for the evening.
Unfortunately it only had very spotty phone coverage, so our internet access was very slow. We got the fire going and settled in for the evening. We had one car come in and then take off to one of the other camp grounds. After dinner we went to bed reasonably early, not staying up to see the new year in. We had a fairly lazy driving day of only around 170 Kms.
