History

Agnes Water is a coastal town located in the Gladstone Region of Queensland, Australia. The area has a rich history that dates back thousands of years, as it has been inhabited by the Indigenous people of the region for many generations.

The traditional custodians of the land in and around Agnes Water are the Gooreng Gooreng people, who have lived in the area for thousands of years. They have a deep connection to the land, and their culture and traditions continue to be significant in the region.

European exploration of the area began in the 18th century when Captain James Cook sailed along the eastern coast of Australia. However, it wasn't until the mid-19th century that European settlers arrived in the Agnes Water area. The town was named after the coastal schooner "Agnes," which was wrecked near Round Hill Head in 1873.
