Places around Rocky

Hello to all,

Today i am going to tell you about the surrounding areas near Rocky. Many people might tell you that Rocky is boring and that there is nothing to do, but i have found that you can get to a lot of outlying areas and sites within a 2 hour drive. Some of my favorite places just a short drive away are; Agnes Waters, The Bouldercombe Gorge, Yepoon, & Mt. Morgan. You can also take a short ferry ride to the islands just off the Yepoon coast.

Agnes waters is located in the small town of 1770 about 2 hours out of Rocky and is a small surfing town. The waves aren't very big but its good fun if you just want a weekend at the beach. There is a campground there that is only 12 a night per head. The locals are all pretty cool, and there is plenty of fun stuff around.

The Bouldercombe Gorge is located just southwest of Rocky and is only about 30 min drive away. It's a nice hike and a great view at the top. Don't blink though, or you might drive through Bouldercombe and miss it.

Yepoon is a beach town about 30 min from rocky. Theres not really any surf there but its a great place to get away. You can catch the ferry from Yepoon to the islands and back for around 50 bucks and that is a sight to see. You can do some snorkeling and get a great view of the Reef or just relax on the beach and have a few drinks.

Mt. Morgan is a cool place to visit. It is a small mining town full of history. There are many sights to see and the ladies at the old train station can tell you all about it. I haven't done it all yet but plan to.

Well there are just a few of the spots i have been and enjoyed. I'll see if i can find some photos of it to put up, but there is alot of other things around that i will talk about in later posts.
