Agnus Water, Queensland

We made a booking at the Caravan Park at Agnus Water which is very popular, we were lucky, just one night! not another single night free, the caravans were packed in like sardines.
Agnus Water is just a stones throw from 1770.

The beach is beautiful with sand ever so soft on the feet.

The Office as you come in the gate and our caravan parked on half sand, half dirt.

Accommodation above, and part of the beach below.

1770, Queensland

Captain James Cook - After circumnavigating New Zealand, Cook's expedition sailed west for Van Diemens Land (Tasmania) (where I live) but winds forced the Endeavour north and the expedition came upon the east coast of Australia in April 1770.  At a brief and simple ceremony at Botany Bay, (a bay of Sydney) Cook named the entire east coast of Australia New South Wales.

We hadn't been to the place 1770 until this past winter 2017.

On Wednesday 24 May 1770, Lieutenant James Cook anchored the Endeavour about 3km off this part of the coast - meaning 1770.
