Some of the best beaches in Qld are one of the best features of Agnes & 1770, with mostly untouched and uninhabited places to escape all along this great stretch of coastline.
Where else in Oz can you go for a surf, then jump in your boat to a variety of estuaries, or even the Great Barrier Reef, and have a very friendly group of locals to hang out with! From previous review, the Ranches Estate does have areas where you'll encounter lots of sandflies, however there are also a few great blocks around, where you wont, and that have amazing views. Good selection of 4-10 acre blocks a few minutes from town, at reasonable prices, and if you are seekig a bit more space, then 40 acre blocks start just under 10 minutes away from the surf in Round Hill & Captain Creek. The area offers a very wide variety of vegetation, soil types, views and landscapes, so something for everyone. 1770 has to be one of the most scenic, largely unknown little seaside towns in Oz, and hopefully it stay that way for ever! The nearby city of Gladstone is experienceing massive growth in Industry, so it is expected that Agnes & 1770 will follow suit, being the 'best bit of coast' in Central Qld!
