Antarctic Peninsula – Sandboard Safari – Agnes Water and 1770

TRAVEL BRIEFS

John Crook 

A true delight – Agnes Water and 1770

Words cannot match the pictures of that slice of Australia which Captain James Cook discovered.  Thanks a lot Jim. I’ve followed in his footsteps on a number of occasions, each visit making a promise to return again, and again.

Part of the attraction (in addition to the fabulous coastal scenery) may be attributed to Michael and Vera Ferinac.

They made their discovery years ago and that discovery includes the site itself, the tropical foliage and the pristine beaches.  One not to be missed is Honeymoon Bay.

For a 1770 Getaway holiday retreat, go visit www.1770getaway.com.au    Check out the three-day package, which includes a coffee and cake.  Not you’re ordinary cake,- Vera’s are very special.  Also special are the pizzas from the wood-fired pizza oven.
