The Town of 1770 – named after the year Captain Cook landed in Australia for the first time – is a tourist town in the Gladstone Region, Queensland, Australia. The town's name was changed to Seventeen Seventy on 1 June 1991, but reverted to Town of 1770 on 15 December 1993.

  • Take a tour of the local waterways and attractions. Discover the area's beauty with an experience onboard one of the famous pink LARCs covering both land and sea and boasting some of Queensland’s best coastal scenery.

  • Explore nature in its natural habitat. Bushwalkers will find many trails to suit varying fitness levels and experience in Agnes Water’s national parks and reserves, including the beautiful Paperbark Forest Walk.

  • Catch a wave or two with professional surf lessons at 1770 Surf School, one of Australia’s longest running schools. If you don't have any luck catching waves, try your hand at stand up paddleboarding or kayaking instead!
