- Hey everyone how are ya's?
In this vid we take you to the town of 1770 & camp right on the beach. We park the tinny out the front and we explore the creek, catch some flat head, put some crab pots in & enjoy ONE OF THE BEST SUNSETS on the East coast of Australia.
We reckon you'll like this one and start planning to come here yourselves.
Cheers - Justin & Bec

It all started when…
In December 2015 we packed up and hit the road for what we thought would be a 12 month Lap of Oz. Fast forward 4 years and we decided to create a video series of our travels to show you all what it’s like to live life on the road!!

Bec, Justin, Jack, Billy and Charli thanks for the video 👍👍👍
You’re so welcome mate.
Hi bec
Ill give you a additional (UK) tip to your tuna past bake.
Crush a big bag of sea salt chips on the top then put cheese on. 🧀 You'll all love it. I did here for friends a great crispy cruntchy texture on the top..
The kids will love it.
We loved 1770! Definitely on our list of places to visit again. It was our first time using the SUP - many, many laughs later and I still couldn’t stand up!! The wife nailed it though.
perfect place for a SUP in the creek there
Oh, and a tip for you Justin, when throwing the pots in, sling the float and rope high up in the mangroves. Not only does this allow you easy access when pulling your pots but also prevents your ropes and floats from getting caught up in the mangrove roots at low tide. Easy to lose a pot due to float and rope being snagged and submerged around the mangrove roots. A gaf is handy to hook up the rope. Cheers mate
Great tips, thanks heaps,. Makes sense actually
And always use the gaf in croc country
This is one of the best spots ever. We drove into the park late afternoon, after being told by other caravan parks that we would not get a site in this area for love or money. Only minutes before we enquired, they had a last-minute cancellation. How lucky were we.
So lucky
‘Got the delicious Bec here’ 😂😂
Love watching you guys be so real!
haha, cheers mate
Love your eternal energy. You guys are so friendly and honest. Keep it up!
Thank you! Will do!
Love a good knife! My husband built a forge so I’m pretty spoilt. I show him something I like and he makes it for me!
Great vid, we used to hole up there at 1770 when i was working trawlers out of Bundy back round 82- or 83 the ppl camping would come out n buy some prawns crab or bugs, or swap em for a slab back then..........Cheers Oz in Canada
Thanks mate, how goods a good feed of bugs
great epp again 1770 on our hit list soon we hope safe travels
Cheers mate
Hey mate great ep great spot. Good to see the tinny. Was a bit worried when u put the roof top on. Love it when u throw a bit of fishing in the mix👊🎣
Thanks mate!!! Could never give up the fishin
FINALLY THE BOATS BACK!!!!! WOOHOO!!! Been waiting all winter Justin. Apologies from a fishing tragic. Lol 😆
😂😂mate all good, I feel ya!! It’s been to long
Hi Bec & Justin, As always great video, its like I'm on holiday just watching you guys, good luck with with the next 1770 camp and hope you get a good size crab, looking forwards to the next video, TFS, Cheers Anna.
Thanks heaps mate
1770/Agnes is always worth the hour drive from my hometown Gladstone! Great video
Cheers mate, love the place
Such an amazing country to explore. Hopefully one day I will.
Thank you for sharing
Hot tip for ya Justin, I’m just learning this crabbing gig as well but I found flattie frames get average results but I kill it with buying a whole woolies chook for 4 bucks, knock it in half to do 2 pots and they’ll last you for a number of soaks. Happy days 🦀 👍🍻
Cheers legend. I’ll give that a go
1770 is one of our Favourite spots in QLD.. Great Video and just wanted to say well done on the Today Show Interview. Looking forward to the next Ep.
Thanks heaps mate, appreciate the support
Ok Bec, i think every mum does tuna bake... Rocks our world. I often use rice instead of pasta. Just put cooked rice in bottom of the dish, mux tura and sauce, chuck on too, bread crumbs, then cheese. Bang in the oven. Kids love it.
Oh yum! I’ll try that one
Totally agree with the fact that if you have a need to use a caravan park that bouncy castles , swimming pools and playgrounds are not wanted as usually there is so many other things to do . Love the tuna bake , so easy and Bec , stick to your guns and don’t empty they toilet , boys job . My husband uses gloves to empty the cassette so no contamination . Love 1770 although haven’t been there for many years . Looking forward to your further travels as we love following where you go and what you do . Love Becs top tips !!!!!!!! Cheers Fleur and Peter .
Thanks so much guys, safe travels
Great video. I'm totally with you Bec about getting a few days of having washed hair! 😁👍
Brings back memories from when i was a kid in Australia - I watched this episode at JFK airport in NY heading home to London… thanks for bringing back my memories!
Thanks mate, great to hear the vids are making people happy
Great video, love the drones views of 1770, looks fantastic. Flathead is my favourite fish to catch and eat, so pleased you were successful. Thanks for the comp for the bike, 🤞. Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year and good luck for next crabbing session. Cheers
Sharon
Great video again Justin, cheers!
Loved 1770 as a kid, 40 years ago.
great place to grow up
OMG, what a stunning place, really felt the vibes and I LOVE those knives!!
great part of the world for sure
Epic episode guys, loving it, Bec, no grater, use the potato peeler instead. Thanks for sharing your video xx
Oh great idea!!! Next time 😂
Definitely agree with Bec, Justin you are so good at the dump point co-ordination and we’ll Bec is all
I’ve that tuna bake 😉
Awesome episode guys, 1770 is just up the road from us and it’s the perfect spot some off grid & offroad living 👌🏼
cheers mate
As always guys this is another awesome video, love watching your adventures and how gorgeous us 1770 ! On my bucket list ! 😊✨️
Thanks so much mate
We've just finished a 5 month trip and stopped into 1770 in September on our way back down. Absolutely beautiful little town, will definitely be back one day. We're now at my parents place waiting for baby #3, then once we feel ready we will hit the road again. Hubby and both kids have electric bikes so I think it's time for Mumma to get one once bub is out... and the chubbie looks pretty good to me. Thanks for another great episode guys. ✌️🌞🧡
Thanks mate and congrats on no. 3
Awesome video guys!
Looks like so much fun 🤙🏼
Keep killing it, love watching your family live the dream 😊
Cheers mate, so much fun on the road
Love ur work guys. Epic spot that can’t wait to get there
Cracking episode, some great NP camps around that area too, unfortunately some have been overfished due to TV exposure, looking forward to more shed sessions
Thanks mate, keen to get some more fishing done up here
beautiful people! might buy the towel hanger thing for my bathroom
Great vid guys 👍
We share the driving, 50/50 so 50/50 dumping. Now we’ve swapped out our toilet for a Natures Head so it lasts longer before emptying!
Marry Christmas 🎄 to you guys 😍🎅🎉🎈👏🎄👏
1770 seventeen seventy looks fantastic ! what a spectacular location! 🌅🌊🏞️🐟🛻📹🤙😎
Mint location hey
Great vid people. With your crab pots Jason I think you'll find 2 zip ties per plastic name tag . Zip tie the name tag with your id to the inside of the pot so it is still legible when looking down at the pot. Then put your name/ ph number on the float. You have to have the pot identified with the plastic tag and also have your name on the float separate from the pot. Better luck next time with crabs. I usually prefer putting my pots in on half tide at the point where the drains come out into the deeper parts of the creek or out on the flats during neap tides. Good luck.
Cheers mate, I reckon you’re right hey
Beautiful place 1770. Thank you for another interesting video. Bad luck in the crab catching. 🇿🇦🇬🇧
Love your 1770 episode, the problem is booking a spot - such a busy place. Ciao ❤
Yes we booked a fair bit in advance.
Another great episode guys! Love 1770 !!
Also loved Bec’s tips!! 😉👏
Thanks heaps
Had to laugh to myself when you mentioned putting your phone number on the crab pots so people can let you know they have found them if lost. Every time ive had crab pots disapear, no one has bothered to ring and say thanks for the pots and tne nice feed of crabs 🤣🤣🤣.
Still, another great episode and once again a other place to put on my "must visit list". Cheers to you all and stay safe.....Pete
Haha. true mate.. I guess i'm one of the honest ones
Thank you so much for this. I visited up there will check out the dive centres my company owned 7 years ago. Now it's -8c here in the UK and I'm dying to get back to that beautiful country.
Just got your awesome book in the mail today. Just had a very quick look through it and it is really well put together. Thanks guys!!!
cheers for the support mate
Love ur work guys. Epic spot that can’t wait to get there ❤️🙏🤙
Cheers mate 🍺🍺
Fantastic videos on the Family channel. Thanks all mates
Our pleasure!
What a beautiful place definitely on our list of places to visit
Has been flogged to death was there in 2000 even then we'll used
My favourite place we’ve stayed. Beachfront too 👌Another great video, thanks guys.
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful family, what a nice episode mate love it. All the wat support mate yeeeeew
Another great ep guys. We get our first caravan in about 2 weeks and the 'i am never going to empty the cassette' discussions have already started. My reply was along the lines of 'if you dump, you dump' simples. Will see what happens I guess :)
🤙😂😂good luck
1770 kinda looks like evans head epic camps and fishing! Good episode guys much love and respect❤ safe travels always 🍻 can’t wait for next 1
Hot 🔥 tip mate the tag goes on the crab 🦀 pot itself. Then you write on the float. . Its done that way in case float is cut/ propped from the crab pot. FyI
We like Becs hot tips, apparently Cheryl agrees about the hair!! Super episode thank you very much!
Thanks mate, ill get bec to do some more for ya's
Love the knifes 👌
Great ep guys!! Love 1770! Love the knife too oooft!
So good hey man
Yes Becs hot tips are great !! Keep them coming 😊
Thanks mate!! Will do
What a great family living the dream
Spent a couple of night's at 1770 in July, we will definitely be back again soon.
Thanks again guy's
Very nice video thank you !
Thankyou
Hey Guys, Great video. Hint for skinning flathead. Slice the fillet down the middle (not through the skin) where the rib cage finishes, lay the skin flat and you get 2 perfect skinned fillets off em.
I like it, that’s a great tip
Great vid as always... greetings from Brissie... am a solo female, so have to empty the dunny; have no choice. A fabulous Christmas to you, Bec and the kids. On the road again early next year, so may one day catch you in our travels. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Merry Xmas mate and safe travels
Such a beautiful part of our country! 💕❤️
Ripper spot hey
Nice spot camping, verry happy with family
Great episode pity about the lack of big muddies anyhow have a great Xmas and new year, can't wait for next epi.cheers
Thanks mate, I'll have to keep trying
Another great ep team;)
As always, loved it
Thanks heaps mate 🤙
"I'm just gonna do a body swim!" lol Good one Bec 👍
😂😂
Liked bec's antlers at the end in the shed. Oh I liked the whole ep as well giddy up.
😂 I wish I liked em up better with her head hey
We've heard so much about 1770 and are even more keen to get up there. Cheers guys, loved your vid as usual 👌

Merry xmas tiav family have a great one safe travelling
Merry xmas guys
Great ep guys,
Cheers mate
Happy Sunday to lorimer family have a great day you Guy's and Girl's
Happy Sunday to you as well mate
So nice up in 1770, nice work. Well done on the Flatty too. I feel your sentiments about emptying the portaloo, absolutely rank, but has to be done….by me…and never my wife 😅😩
if it's the worst thing i have to do, i can handle that
Your really in your element in the sun and water, shines thru in your vids! Merry Xmas beautiful family!!!! Tripinavan..
Cheers mate
Hey Justin I feel your pain on being the only one to empty the dunny. My misso won't do it either. We camped literally right across the lane from your site last time we were there and your not the only that didn't catch crabs mate . Keep up the great work. Love watching you guys on a Sunday morning in bed with a coffee.
Thanks heaps mate! I’ll soldier on with the toilet debacle 😂😂
Emptying the 'devils esky' is essentially a 'BLUE job' for most vanner's 😂❌️😂
I’d love a full rundown of your tinnie.. I’m thinking of getting one and your set up looks the goods. 👌🏻
To easy mate, I’ve got a vid soon where I run through it 🤙
haha, that last bit. awesome epp guys, already ordered 2 laundry hanger thingys. Love your work, might have to get missus to watch the knives section to plant the seed for chrissy .
Safe travels.
Cheers mate, happy Sunday
"have a look at this mate....... Fish!" Hahahaha for some reason that cracked me up
haha
We should be grateful that we have flushable toilet’s nowadays because used to need to empty them by hand
Love you guys. What an amazing family. Happy Christmas
Thanks heaps mate
Another great video guys, thanks for sharing. You've probably done this a dozen times but can you tell us a bit about the little boat, it looks perfect for the job around estuaries. Congratulations on the Flatty haul, they look delicious. Bec don't do it, bugger it, let the old man empty the lou, it's his job, someone called it a blue glove job but I don't see Justin using any gloves.
1770 is one on my list. My list is getting longer n longer thanks to you guys. Grrrr, that's a letdown with mud crabs 🦀. I love eating mud crabs.
I reckon next time I’ll get a few 🤙
@@TripInAVan looking forward to your next cooking crab. Hope u come up with new recipes but you can simply enjoy by put it on the charcoal/woodfire n dip with sea salt, lime n pepper 😋
Love 1770 we used to go there yearly till last bub was due right around our trip dates and sadly we lost our spot after that…… we had the same with our pots a couple of years but other years the crabs were amazing had soooo many.
Struggle street with the crabs. Should be better next time hopefully
Amazing 🤩 place. .🤙🍻 gotta get there.
chuck it not the list for sure
Great Ep!! Justin I must say I think that home Gym is working. I swear those Guns have grown 😂👌🏻💪🏼
Great ep. Loved it. 1770 water looked amazing from the drone. Sooo need those knives… Chubbie bike under the tree would be good too 🤙🏼
Thanks heaps mate
I love 1770! QLD rec fishing app may come in handy for you to check bag and size limits. It works offline I think

You guys inspired us to go on a road trip a couple years back and we met you at an Airlie Beach playground....that was cool. We then went south to this spot, was one of my favourites. I can say I got my big flattie as well.
Happy days 🤙 hope your doing well
You guys rock. And that is coming from an old 'boomer'. 😎
Cheers mate
Bec, you can use a potato peeler for cheese if you don’t have a grater!! 😊
best tip ever!!!
Wow this place looks incredible! First time commenter long time watcher! Love every ep!!
