Town of 1770
Queensland, Australia
A relaxed seaside town with an identity issue, as it can be known as just '1770', 'Seventeen Seventy' or 'Town of 1770'. The town was named after James Cook and his crew of the endeavour who came ashore here in 1770. The town has been touted as the 'New Noosa', but it still small and retains its charm.
