Forster-Tuncurry and Lake Wallis.
These coastal towns sit each side of the entrance to Lake Wallis separate by a neck of water and a bridge. Lake Wallis extends 26 kms inland from the coast and is a haven for bird and marine life. Booti Booti National Park lies just to the south of Forster. Explorer John Oxley camped here for a night in 1818 and named Lake Wallis after the Commandant of the Newcastle penal settlement at that time. Around 1831 the Australian Red Cedar loggers moved into the region and floated the cedar through Lake Wallis to the entrance to the coast. The first settlers took up land around Cape Hawkes in 1863. The caught fish and sent oysters to Sydney. A town site was surveyed in 1869 and named Forster in 1870 after William Forster a local settler. A saw miller and a small shipbuilder took up some of the first town sites. A school opened and the first hotel was licensed from 1874. North Forster was known as Tuncurry from 1875. Today the area is known for its superb beaches, its headlands, its National Parks and its waterways and rainforests around Lake Wallis. Fishing and oysters are still the main stays of the local economy in addition to tourism but in the early 20th century dairying was important and Forster had a butter factory some years. The bridge linking Tuncurry and Forster was built in 1959. Our Free Spirit lunch cruise departs from the wharf at 11:30 am for two and a half hours. Wallis Lake has around 210 species of birds including rainbow and scaly-breasted lorikeets, yellow-faced honeyeaters and numerous water birds. Dolphins, eagles, swans and pelicans are regularly on the lake. The Information Centre is near the Free Spirit wharf and make sure you walk through the shopping precinct to reach the Forster Main Beach.
