Agnes Water & Town of 1770 Discovery Coast

Did you know that the Town of 1770 marks the first landing of a European on the Australian soil. Captain James Cook

Test The historic Town of 1770 and Agnes Water share an idyllic stretch of coastline made famous as the first landing point of Captain James Cook in his discovery of Australia. With an unexpected introduction to the Great Barrier Reef, Cap

tain Cook and his men came ashore for much needed repairs and to restock supplies. The tropical paradise they discovered remains virtually untouched to this day and ever delights the intrepid explorer with pristine shorelines, abundant wildlife and an ecosystem that resembles a botanical garden. With Deepwater and Eurimbula National Parks nestled amid the serene stretch of the Discovery Coast, and the Great Barrier Reef but a boat ride away, some of Australia’s most cherished natural wonders lie in a state of timeless beauty. Something of a national secret, its hard to believe Town of 1770 and Agnes Water are just over an hours drive from Bundaberg and Gladstone airports. For those in camper and caravan mode, Town of 1770 and Agnes Water are a half day drive north of Brisbane, and also cater to honeymooners or those in search of a secluded holiday retreat with its luxury beachfront villas and Bed & Breakfast charm. Equally hospitable to family retreats and with the added benefit of a bus service running 365 days a year, Agnes Water and Town of 1770 are an ideal destination with a seemingly limitless appeal. A monument marks the spot near Round Hill Head where Lieutenant James Cook first anchored in Bustard Bay and came ashore on Wednesday the 24th of May, in 1770. This was to be Cook’s first landing in Queensland, hence the Town of 1770 is aptly referred to as ‘The birthplace of Queensland’. A museum dedicated to the early Queensland settler lifestyle and James Cook memorabilia is situated in nearby Miriam Vale Shire.
