Under our old mate Koppen, The Town Of Seventeen Seventy just misses out on a Tropical classification.
Or as some describe it, a mild 'Tropical Lite' climate.
The Tropic of Capricorn runs through the QLD city of Rockhampton:

The town of Seventeen Seventy is some 230klm south east by road from Rockhampton ( which doesn't quite make the 'Tropical' classification due to its min temps in the winter months lowering the monthly means below 18c. )
Gladstone, south of Rocky, qualifies as 'Tropical' with the winter means just above 18c

SEVENTEEN SEVENTY, QLD:

Climate:
Well, was 'Tropical' in 2023...

Still good in every other way though.

I give it an A- as well. Lack of heat isnt a detriment tbh.

C+, pretty inoffensive aside from the warm rain, but a “coastcuck” zone for sure with the lack of heat and shitty low diurnal warmth.

D+ (maybe C- on a good year)... A bit muggy for me, but the "winters" are beautiful.

Definitely the 'cooler' end of tropical. Las Palmas at 28'N is a tropical desert according to Koppen. So I don't see why this can't be a tropical climate.

But it's not bad.

At least sunshine and t-storms should be fairly abundant.
