Agnes Water and 1770 are only about 6km’s apart and would have to be one of the best places to visit; we stayed at the Discovery Coast Caravan & Camping Park which is approximately 5km before getting to Agnes Water.
The park is set on a 40 acre property and is very much like a bush retreat or farm stay; most of the sites are slabs and have power & water. Next time through here we would stay at this park or the 1770 camping grounds and would stay for a week or longer.
TV is non existent unless you have a satellite dish; the park is very roomy and behind all the back row sites were you had your own open fireplace/BBQ. Getting on with the neighbors was easy as fires were going every night. Showers were timed at 4 minutes but they were full bore and very good; no problems getting showered in time. Price was $22 per night and not sure if they had a discounted weekly rate as we did not stay a full week to find out (I probably should have asked). Either way we would stay here again.
Above is a photo at 1770 and below is the memorial built telling of how the town got it’s name (the date it was discovered).
Below are the words on a book-stand at the side of the monument.
One of the many lookouts along a walking trail at the heads of 1770.
Above is a nice quiet inlet that with care could be accessed down some non official walking tracks; we did spot some people walking on the cliff edge shown.
On another part of the walking track we came across some people rock fishing (below); again getting down to this area could be a little dangerous given the way to it is by another scrambled track made by the fishing fraternity.
