Day 8 - 1st May 2012
We got an early getaway from Granite Creek (about 0600) - destination Workman's Beach Camping Ground near Agnes Water.  On the way in from Miriamvale, we took a diversion into Eurimbula National Park.  The sign said the road ahead was 4WD only and not suitable for caravans.  They weren't kidding!  After about an hour to traverse 14.5km, we finally arrived at the camping ground.  The road started out very rough and rocky to corrugated and then sandy and then the very narrow track became cosy to say the least.  Slow and steady got us here.  Definitely worth the effort.  We have a spot about 100m from the beach but firmly nestled in the bush - sensational spot.  Lots of bird life, wallabies and goannas roaming around.  The place is named 'Bustard Bay' by one James Cook when he anchored the Endeavour in this bay in May 1770.  Joseph Banks collected several species of plants from the area on his onshore excursion.
Today is our 30th Anniversary and what a beautiful place to spend it.

 We finished the day with wine (and iced tea) and cheese on the beach under the sunset.
