1770 Larc Tours
Unique Amphibious Adventures
Experience the LARC! Travel amphibiously along secluded sandy beaches and pristine waterways of the Town of 1770, the birthplace of Queensland.
For a trip you will never forget, jump aboard the pink LARC - an amphibious craft that will take you across deserted beaches and estuaries as you make your way to isolated Bustard Head Lighthouse, located within Eurimbula National Park. This is the only operating lighthouse open to the public in Queensland. From your guides, you'll hear tales of tragedy and triumph as early settlers and lighthouse keepers struggled to tame this remote wilderness, and take a tour of the light keeper's cottage, now a museum of artefacts and light station memorabilia. You will see some of the prolific wildlife that inhabits the area, and you will gasp at the spectacular panoramic view from the balcony of the historic Bustard Head Lighthouse. On the way home, you can experience the thrill of sand-boarding down the towering dunes of Middle Island.
The LARC's (Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo vessels) are named in honour of Sir Joseph Banks and Dr Daniel Carl Solander, the two eminent botanists who accompanied Cook aboard the Endeavour on their voyage of discovery. Full day tour includes morning tea, lunch and an Aussie billy tea.

1770 Distillery
1770 Distillery was established to utilise locally grown fruits of the area and to provide a unique experience for both locals and tourists. It was founder John’s dream to create a boutique distillery in a great place and that is what led John and Debra to the beautiful seaside Town of 1770 / Agnes Water. The dream materialised after the couple was bitten by the distilling bug while living in Tasmania, where they developed their distilling skills under the watchful eye of Bill and Lyn Lark of the Lark Distillery.
