After leaving Hervey Bay, we continued north to Agnes Waters and the Town of 1770.  These two small towns are situated next to each other and are located at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef.  The Town of 1770 was named after Captain James Cook when he anchored his ship, the Endeavour, here on Wednesday, May 24, 1770.  It was only the second time during the voyage that Captain Cook had set foot on Australian soil and his first venture on dry land at what is now called Queensland.
