Scooter-Roo Tours |
 |
Scooter-Roo Tours are run every day from our base in Springs Road, Agnes
Water. The tours are led by our experienced guide and encompass the
environs of Agnes Water and Town of 1770.
Hire your own scooter, car licence only, just like riding a bike!
First we take you to quiet country roads where kangaroos and wallabies
graze quietly as they have done since The Dreamtime.
The next part of the tour includes a look around Agnes Water township,
with views of the sea from the urban streets and hills in town, before
moving on to the Marina at Town of 1770.
This short, 6 km ride is along undulating tarseal surfaced road, where
it is possible to see the odd dingo or goanna. On reaching the Marina,
you have an opportunity to feed the millions of fish and, with luck and
a good tide, to see the resident Groper.
Leaving the Marina the expedition follows Round Hill Creek Estuary to
the headland at 1770, passing the spot that lieutenant James Cook landed
on 24th May 1770, his first landing in what is now Queensland.
A leisurely ride back to The Tree, a unique roadside bar, where we rest
and wait for sunset, which can be spectacular from the rocks at the edge
of the water. Lastly we ride back to Agnes Water and disperse
