The little towns of Agnes Water and Town 1770 are located between Hervey Bay and Rockhampton and are excellent for a stopover while your heading either north or south.
The closest town from the main highway would be Agnes Water and Town 1770 is at 7 k's from here. There's not a lot going on in these seaside surf towns but they do have some great stretches of deserted beach.

The animals for a...

The first night we were luckily it kept dry so we decided to go on a dinner cruise. Because of the time difference we were just in time for the boat cruise on the Brisbane River and hopped on right on time. The cruise was led by Kookaburra River...
