The Town of 1770 is gorgeous. Relaxing. The pub and the caravan park wee excellent. The local bowls club had a Friday night barbie. The LARC is a lark.

Watching a sunset over water on the Qld coast is a unique experience.

And you reckon your life is tough. This is on the eastern side of the peninsula at Agnes Waters Qld.

James Cook called into what is now known as 1770 in May 1770...

The area has heaps to offer. The tour on the LARC, an amphibious craft, is a highlight. The Captain Cook Caravan Park is brilliant. The lawn bowls club has a fantastic Friday night BBQ. The surfing lessons are awesome.

Agnes Waters has the most northerly recognised surf beach on the eastern seaboard. To the south, between Agnes Waters and Bundaberg, turtles nest.
