Seventeen Seventy is a small seaside resort noted for its pleasant beaches and good fishing. It is located 501 km north of Brisbane between Gladstone in the north and Bundaberg to the south-east. Agnes Water, another small beach side resort is 6 km south of Seventeen Seventy.

It was at 1770 that Cook made his second landing on Australian soil (his first had been at Botany Bay) and, if you are a patriotic Queenslander, it was here that the first European set foot on Queensland soil on 24 May 1770. This historic occasion is commemorated by the Captain Cook Memorial at nearby Round Hill Head.
