Where The F@#$ is the Town of 1770:

Strap on your backpacks and drag your pasty white asses to the pristine shores of the last remaining all natural beach environment on the Eastern Seaboard.  Not only do we boast the northernmost surf-break on the Queensland Coast, easy access to the Great Barrier Reef and all it's wonders, two coastal rain-forest National Parks within spitting distance (if you are a llama), tidal creeks and estuaries and the only place on the East Coast where the sun sets over the water but we have also managed to tap into our environment with minimum impact with a wide range of adventure activities to suit all budgets.

Learn to surf on Agnes Water Main Beach in some of the most ideal conditions you will find, ride a chopper motorcycle to witness local wildlife and the neighbourhood with wind in your face (and hopefully not gravel in your ass), go vertical as you jump the waves on the sandbar in a thundercat raceboat, kayak in the crystal clear waters of Round Hill Creek and the secluded bays of the 1770 Headland with dolphins,  jump aboard a 4WD tour through untouched pockets of rainforest, eat damper on top-of-the-world, dive the incredible beauty of the Great Barrier Reef with manta rays or explore one of the amazing wrecks that rest off-shore, or join the fast growing ranks of wind whores and experience the adrenalin rush of Kite-surfing on the 1770 Sandbar, miles of un-interrupted beachfront, or on the secluded tidal estuary at Broadwater Haven.

Kite-surfing is easy to learn (Pommies welcome), fine for all fitness levels and ages (you won't feel old and fat for long), and will put such a grin on your face for so long you will look like the village idiot (if you don't already).  Take a 4WD tour through Deepwater National Park, be lifted by the wind to float against the sky before slamming back into the water to carve the waves (remember the feeling you had when you took the twins home?) and you will be hard pressed to find better bang-for your buck in any location in Australia.

AGNES WATER AND THE TOWN OF 1770  are located on the coast between Bundaberg and Gladstone at the end of the road. Getting here and away is easy with a range of bus services available, and with a wide variety of accommodations and several hostels close to the town centre I would suggest that you book a one-way ticket and slide into "Agnes Time" to fully appreciate the scope of options on hand to enhance your exploration of this magnificent coastal paradise.
