Town of 1770
14/01/2009 Caught the courtesy bus to Agnes Water beach to meet our travelling companion Dave. We rented a surf board between us and chilled on the beach. The boys were both pretty good, a few standing sessions but the waves were massive I went out for ...
Agnes A'hoy
... after the whale adventure had ended, and soon it was time to board the Greyhound again for a 3 hour trip up the coast to Agnes Water, aka 1770. It doesn’t take much to work out where they got the name for this place. It was discovered by Captain ...
Flooding...nuff said...
The Ozzie weather just gets better and better... I mean seriously none of us had ever heard of the "Rainy season"in Australia! But here we were stuck in a place which has only a beach, 3 shops and the rain just wouldn't stop! Fair enough cool ...
Agnes Water
... but no worries there mate. We stayed at a lovely hostel the 1770 Southern Cross Tourist Retreat about 3km outside the tiny town of Agnes Water, the most northerly surf town in Queensland. It was too far to walk to the village but there was a regular free ...

Kinka Beach to 1770; that's a place, not a number!
... it came into view and we quickly pulled over, the load was almost as wide as the whole of the road! We arrived at Agnes Water, which is the sister village to 1770 and the information office informed us that both the local camp sites had no powered or ...
TOWN OF 1770
I woke up on Thursday morning and the rain was still falling. Up to now I was kind of enjoying this rain that, unlike home, was warm and fell straight down as opposed to blowing sidways, but having experienced a very deflated atmosphere about the ...
Surfing
Wednesday morning Ben went for a surfing lesson with the local surf school. This was 3 hours of group tuition and he did manage to stand up a few times! After this we wandered into town to get some lunch and then spent the afternoon sorting out what we ...
Kitesurfing
On thursday the wind was looking good and we had arranged to go Kitesurfing. 1770 is meant to be good for this which was one of the main reasons we stopped here. We jumped into the instructor's 4x4 and set off. An hour later as we were struggling through ...
Water nice place
At Agnes Water we lucked out with a lovely campsite right on the beach. Thankfully the weather also perked up and whilst Mark surfed, I spent my time sunbathing and reading. We had only planned to stay one night but decided to stay two. Agnes ...
Christmas and no room at the inn :-(
... accommodation as it was Christmas time but we thought seeing as we had a tent we could find a campsite at least. We got the Agnes Water (town of 1770) quite late and it was already dark and still heavily raining. The campsite was all boggy and they had ...
Cool Bananas
Definitely, I would recommend 1770 as a stop along the east coast and nearly everyone who visits does. Far more relaxed and less the developed than other stops, 1770 is unique to the east coast and ideal for chilling out and doing as little as ...
The Discovery Coast
... regarding gale force winds and rough sea, so all the trips to Lady Musgrave were cancelled. That was bad news. We decided to remain in Agnes Waters anyway, as it had a nice, relaxed feel to it. We had lunch in a little cafe in front of the beach, ...
$17 Surfing in 1770!
After Hervery Bay we had another short stop in 1770/Agnes Water. The hostel we stayed at was lovely and set in its own grounds of a few acres. The rooms were all in individual log cabins named after countries - ours was Norway. We arrived around tea time ...
Newbie
This is what I call peaceful. Agnes Water and 1770 is a sleepy pair of beach towns at the south end of the Great Barrier Reef. It's also the farthest north place in Australia where you can surf. I took advantage of both. I was recommended to stay at ...
Agnes Water & 1770
1770 is a small and rather unremarkable town save for a couple of interesting footnotes. First, it’s the only town in Australia with a number for a name. More significantly, it is the last place you can surf going north. This is a pretty significant ...
The fairy tale is over....
... Without a doubt, this has been the best hostel we've stayed at to date. Which seems to blend in seamlessly with the town of Agnes Water, and it's eccentric and falling-over-so-laidback locals. Why ever leave? But as good as it's been here, the time has ...
Urlaub vom Urlaub

Feeling Good!
... sure everything is spick and span and that everyone is happy. They've managed to create something that a lot of the hostels in Australia lack, which is atmosphere. The whole place is set up with relaxing and socializing in mind. Needless to say, hammocks ...

Agnes Water & Town of 1770
... the trip up to Airlie Beach was approx 1,500 km, so unable to do this in a day we decided to do an overnight stop inbetween at Agnes Water and the Town of 1770, so named for the date that Cook landed in this part of East Coast Australia. As this was an ...
