Agnes Water, Town of 1770, Calliope, Gladstone
The townships of Agnes Water and 1770 are nestled between wilderness
and breathtaking coastline creating what is probably the most beautiful
and peaceful place in south-east Queensland. It's less commercial
in comparison with other seaside destinations within the state, with one
pub, a few shops, and a limited amount of accommodation. A section of
the road to the towns is still unsealed! But people still come
here for the great boating and fishing, to explore the nearby Eurimbula
National Park, or simply to soak in the serenity the region has to
offer.
Further north and back on the main highway Calliope marks the
turn to Gladstone. Gladstone's estuary setting has become
one busiest ports in Australia due to it's deep harbours and coal mining
operations in the hinterland. There are various historic buildings,
art and craft galleries, and tours are available of the several industries in
the area. The town's marina is the main departure point for Heron and
Curtis Islands.
