MISSION BEACH FILM FESTIVAL


Daryl Hannah opening the Mission Beach Film Festival
Johnny Chop appears in the film and sat across the aisle from Faye just before the film began. He flew eight members of his family to Mission Beach to see the screening.  
Faye waiting patiently with others for the theatre to open.  There were no reserved seats and Faye was after a front row seat.

1770 / AGNUS WATERS

Heading down to Red Rock Walk at Rocky Point, Agnes Water


Unusual tree, Rocky Point, Agnes Water

 Interesting tree growing on the rocky slope of Rocky Point coastline


The long path from the carpark to Red Rock Beach at Rocky Point is made of metal slates linked together by chain.

This part of the Agnes Water coastline is a privately owned eco-village where strict control of environmentally friendly building and living conditions are imposed on residents,  The pathway divides here, one path leading to the locked private entrance to the eco-village, the other being the access path from the car[ark to the beach for day trippers,  There are no signs to this particular carpark, We found out by asking at the information centre when we couldn't find access to Rocky Point which was listed on our map.  It appears to be deliberate to keep as many people away from the area as possible. 


Steps to Red Rock

A large flock of approx 500 rainbow lorikeets flew over the 1770 beach at dusk and landed in a huge tree beside the foreshore picnic area
