QLD State Spearfishing Championships

The Australian Underwater Federation Queensland and Bundaberg Skindivers Club would like to invite all interested divers to compete in the Queensland Spearfishing Championships to be held in Agnes Waters / 1770, Queensland in 2024.

The Town of 1770 is situated on a peninsula, with the Coral Sea and Bustard Bay on three sides and can be reached by a sealed road from Bundaberg, 120 kilometres to the south, going through Agnes Water (immediately to the south). The town sustains a small permanent population; a significant holiday population makes it to the area to take advantage of fishing, Great Barrier Reef trips and other water activities. The town is built on the site of the second landing in Australia by James Cook and the crew of HM Bark Endeavour in May 1770 (and their first landing in what is now the State of Queensland).

The village is a tourist destination on Queensland's Discovery Coast. The village itself contains holiday accommodation, restaurants, general store, hotel, picnic areas with free barbecues and a small marina where daily trips depart for Lady Musgrave Island on the Great Barrier Reef, and several trips a week to Bustard Head Light Station.
