Agnes Waters / 1770
Wow, what a trip! In need of a good break away from it all, we invited my parents to share some time away with us (and to help them celebrate a big milestone in their lives together)! We then packed the kids and the kitchen sink and headed off for a few days away in the twin towns of Agnes Waters / 1770. Aptly named, 1770 is recognized as the “Birthplace of Queensland” as Lt James Cook and his crew came ashore on 24 May 1770.
It’s obviously seen a lot of change since way back when, but what a truly beautiful part of the world!
We stayed in a lovely new 2 bedroom self contained apartment just a minute’s walk from the beach. We feasted on a mountain of food, spent lots of time with the kids on the beach and at the park and took some scenic walks and drives.
…Lookout at 1770

…Funky sand art by ‘the Crab’ – looks like a firework!

As you can probably guess, we all had a great time and we’re looking forward to our next holiday already!!!
Cheers,
Chrissy

Agnes Waters is great – we used to go a lot when I was a kid. It has changed quite a lot since then though.

Did, you guys get any pics of the township, have not been there since the 1970′s so wondered how much the little settlement has grown. On of the project supervisors here has a house down there and we were only talking about Agnes yesterday.Believe they have a bitumen road there now, used to be a bone shaking dirt road last time I went there which caused the exhaust system to break off and battery to shake loose.
