1770 Queensland Australia

1770 is located in Queensland Australia,125 kilometres south of Gladstone. 1770 is next to Agnes Water and for visitor is very much one unit. Agnes Water is the northern most surfing beach in Queensland. The area has holiday accommodation, restaurants, a general store, and a marina. This little town with the highly unusual name is an environmentalist's dream as it is home to an abundance of flora and fauna that remains virtually unscathed by modern development. It also acts as a departure point for tours and day trips to the Great Barrier Reef.

1770 was named after the year in which Captain James Cook landed there in the Endeavour. As this was the first place in Queensland that Cook stepped ashore, it has come to be known as ‘The Birthplace of Queensland'.
