We and seventeen other boats are currently anchored in Pancake Creek, an absolutely stunning waterway between Bustard Bay and Keppel Bay. We arrived here yesterday after a few days anchored in Round Hill Creek off Seventeen Seventy.

| Crazy scooter-car-thing in 1770 |
We did the overtly tourist thing at Seventeen Seventy, hiring two crazy scooter-car-things that we used to explore Seventeen Seventy and Agnes Water. Daggy but a lot of fun. The trip to Pancake Creek was lovely, if a bit noisy because we didn't have enough wind to sail. After school, the boys went fishing, I baked and read and Haydee taste-tested our chocolate-caramel brownies and boogie-boarded her way around the boat (it was too cold to swim). When the boys got back, we all went ashore and explored the beach and managed to find the well-hidden sign marking the track to the lighthouse.
We had pancakes (of course!) for breakfast/brunch this morning before hiking 4km or so to the Bustard Head Lighthouse. The squids should sleep well tonight! So should I, Shane just made me a vodka, lemon and lime...

| Pancakes at Pancake Creek, of course |
We're planning to move on to Gladstone and are lazily debating whether it will be tomorrow or Thursday. Shane is inclining towards Thursday because, I think, my jokes about dragging a lure up a fair chunk of Queensland's coast with a total fish tally of 0 are wearing thin. He muttered something about putting the 15hp on the dinghy and doing some serious fishing tomorrow...
