What happened in 1770???

Agnes Water, Castaway & Surfing!
Arrived in Agnes Water to find that there is literally nothing here except a petrol station, a surf shop, a beach, a few hostels and some food shops. Grim! To make things worse I new I had to stay here for four days at least so I could do my castaway ...

Breaking up the journey in Agnes Water
Andrew woke at 6am on the bus just as dawn was breaking and saw an emu runnning past the coach. Agnes Water is a strange town. They seem to be trying to create a tourist town through an aggressive marketing campaign, when there is very little here of ...
One long bus ride later...
We left Airlie beach, and took a pretty long bus ride to the town of Agnes Water, and 1770. Thats right, its apparently the only numbered town in the world. On the most exciting of all days, this gave us a chance to get some laundry done, and catch up on ...

Best Hostel
Thursday 6th May 2010 – Day 56 – 1770 / Agnes Waters Stayed in Cool bananas, which is by far the best hostel we have stayed in. The staff were a big quirky and rude at time but apparently this is what the Aussies are like, abrupt and to the ...
