The next day we continued our trip to the Beach of 1770. đ
After 2 hours drive we came to Lake Awonga. As soon as we had arrived there we jumped into the water and enjoyed a refreshing swim in the nude. đ
First there was not a soul to be seen, amazing. đ After a while I spotted a man next to a boat and some kajaks and I asked him whether he could lend us the kajaks for free. He said yes ( because it isn’t holiday season in Queensland) and we started our water trip. The lake is huge and we decided to have a rest for sunbathing in the middle of the lake. đ It was so amazingly peaceful, no noises, just water lapping against the boats, sunshine on our heads and the beautiful landscape surrounding us. After having spent some moments of such wonderful relaxation we started a little race in our boats and I won (it was very similar to rowing :)) We had a lot of fun. We had to dry our wet clothes in the sun. đ At 3’o clock we continued our trip and after a two hours drive arrived at Derek’s home. đ He is a friendly old retired guy who is living in a big house in a kind of minimalistic style. See the photos. đ
Although he cooked us a dinner and we spent some nice time together we decided to move to another place ( we could quickly arrange) because if we stayed at his place we would have had to sleep in our car in his yard. But we had the chance to sleep at Jimmy’s house, were we could sleep inside. So at about 9 oâclock we said good-bye to Derek and drove off to Jimmy’s home. Another very friendly guy.
We had a lot of fun together and enjoyed the conversation with him. Later we spent our time watching a film together. ![]()
