Joseph Banks Conservation Park

Joseph Banks Conservation Park is located in the Town of 1770, just north of Agnes Water, preserving much of the peninsula with fauna and flora indicative of the area.

Walk 250 metres to Round Hill Head lookout, through windswept tussock grasslands and dry vine forest, for views to the north. Look for dolphins and turtles in the clear waters below, or white-bellied sea-eagles overhead.

The picturesque Town Of 1770 is surrounded on three sides by the Coral Sea and Bustard Bay. Historic as the second landing site of Lieutenant James Cook and the crew of the Endeavour in May 1770, the area is rich in wildlife and natural.
