Everything about 1770 Queensland totally explained
1770 is a
village in
Queensland,
Australia, built on the site of the second landing by
James Cook and the crew of
HM Bark Endeavour in May
1770 (Cook's first landing in what is now the state of Queensland). Originally known as
Round Hill — after the creek it sits on — the name was changed in 1970 to commemorate the
bicentennial of Cook's visit. The community of 1770 hold the re-enactment of this historic landing each year as part of the
1770 Festival
held in May.
The village is a tourist destination on the
Queensland Discovery Coast, in the
Joseph Banks Environmental Park; it's on a
peninsula, with the
Coral Sea and
Bustard Bay on three sides.
Agnes Water is eight kilometres (5 miles) to the south. The village itself contains holiday accommodation, restaurants, a general store, and a small
marina.
1770 can be reached by a tarred road from
Bundaberg, 120 kilometres (72 mi) to the south, and there's also a tarred road to Agnes Water. The town sustains a small permanent population; a significant holiday population makes it to the area to take advantage of fishing and other water activities.
The area's wildlife and vegetation has been preserved as far as possible, and this, together with the area's natural beauty, and an outer surf and inner still water beach, is the main tourist attraction. It also offers day cruises and flights to the outer
Great Barrier Reef, to nearby
Lady Musgrave Island and
Lady Elliot Island,
Fitzroy Reef,
Pancake Creek, and the historic
Bustard Head lighthouse.
The area also has four
national parks:
Deepwater,
Eurimbula,
Mount Colosseum, and
Round Hill. These all offer wilderness camping and hiking.
