Gladstone/ 1770
Today we went for a drive to the town of 1770, (so named because that was the year Captain Cook landed there). It is about an hour and 15 mins drive from Gladstone, through dry empty paddocks, i was beginning to wonder where the hell we were going. When we finally caught a glimpse of water we were all blown away, absolutely beautiful!! We walked up to the headland and were once again blown away. From the point 180 degree views of crystal clear sapphire blue water. We climbed down onto the rocks and had a picnic lunch. After a look around we were sold, so we dropped by the caravan park and booked a site for 2 nights, drove back to Gladstone and will head back tomorrow with the van.
We have now been in 1770 for the last two days, it has been just beautiful. We have been fishing loads, and have caught some great flathead, cod, barracuda. It is such a gorgeous spot to relax. Every afternoon the entire park congregates on the beach, because it is situated in a bay the sun sets over the mountains in the distance which actually looks like it is setting over the water.
leaving here tomorrow to head to the Whitsundays.
