Agnes Waters & Town of 1770

It rained all night so we woke to a pretty windy and bleak morning.  The kids were eager to go to the toilet this morning, but I realised it was to survey the caravan park and check out who was up and ready for a play.  I had to stop Maxie going into his little mates caravan and we ran into Bella's mum in the bathroom so thankfully she stressed that her girls were still snoozing.  Banana smoothies and cereal for breakfast, the kids were cheering.  Then a video so Rick could fix the leaking washing machine and I could work out how to get this blog going.  The beach here is lovely, or would be if it could stop blowing a gale.  But it hasn't stopped the holiday makers from hanging out on the sand. And some poor souls even braved the surf.  Its a great surfing spot and I believe the house next to the caravan park overlooking the beach is owned by the guy who started Billabong.  One of his many apparently and he paid $3M for it, which I think its outrageous given there's not a lot here.  Rick checked out the Real Estate Agents the other day and said a nice house on the water is around $2M.  Unbelievable given its a fair drive from Brisbane and again, there's not much here other than the beach. The rest of the day was pretty uneventful, which was just perfect.  We haven't had a nothing day and today was it.  The kids played ALL day, on the swings, in caravans, on bikes, on the beach, climbing rocks, building sandcastles.  Maxie and Scarlett also climbed a big tree for the first time, and Max got stuck which wasn't a problem until he needed a pit stop so he sent his little mate down to get me. I managed to get up to date with my chores and Rick attempted some paperwork being the end of financial year.  A highlight of the day was the fruit and veg van that came loaded with lots of fresh goodies straight from the farm.  I bought nashi pears, beans, sugar snap peas, apples, strawberries, purple carrots (a new super food), lettuce, a mixed bag of herbs like coriander, parsley, rocket, mandarins, avocados and potatoes.  Delicious. We finished the day with some fab fish cakes, salad, vegies and some strawberries and ice-cream with strawberry  sauce that we got at the strawberry farm back in Eumundi.  The fish cake recipe was compliments of my trusty bible, Feasting by Karen Martini.  Well worth making them (although I omitted the oregano with the kids). Go the panko breadcrumbs. A few vino's later and we were rocked to sleep by the sounds of the crashing waves 100 metres away.
