Obligatory East Coast Adventure: Day 12 & 13

Seventeen Seventy, Australia


Beef consumption in Rockhampton is compulsory so we munched on a steak at the Great Western before driving down to the much raved about Town Of 1770 and Agnes Waters. We arrived on Sunday and spent the entire Monday trying to work out what people love so much about this place, we drove around, we went to the beach, we checked into the right backpackers (Cool Bananas) and consumed alcohol. Maybe you just need money to enjoy a place like this but the thing is, as pretty as each of these little East Coast towns are, each one is just more of the same. Once you've seen one you've seen them all.

Then I heard people talking about the Scooter Roo tours, they put you on a Twist And Go chopper and take you around town. Irma doesn't have a drivers license, rumour had it they never check but she didn't want to risk it. It took Tooheys Extra Dry and letting her win at Yammit (a little known, very simple and highly addictive card game with absolutely no skill involved that I learnt in Echuca) to convince her to stay another night.

I live life on the edge.

Provided I'm harnessed to a safety rope and there's a team of trained professionals on hand to make sure I don't fall off.
