Forster is a beautiful coastal town in New South Wales - about 3-4 hours drive, north of Sydney. It is a very popular holiday spot - great for fishing (deep-sea, lake, rock, river or beach), surfing, sailing, stand up paddle boarding, diving etc - after all Forster is the centre of the Great Lakes area and surrounded by beaches.
Here are a few of the beaches you can visit while in town:
We often see dolphins when walking along the break-wall and whales swim along the coastline from about July to October. There are several companies in town that offer dolphin, whale watching or scuba diving tours.
Wallis Lake is famous for oysters and you can buy them fresh from a number of outlets in town. While you are visiting Forster I suggest you climb the steps leading up to the summit of Cape Hawke for spectacular views - from the top of the lookout you can see the size of Wallis Lakes.
There are a number of accommodation options around Forster - from luxury apartments to caravan and camping grounds, plus various holiday houses and units. Forster is very popular during school holidays and you will need to book ahead if you want to visit this area - especially at Christmas.
Tobwabba Art is a well known Aboriginal art collective based in Forster - we have seen their artworks all around Australia. Tobwabba calendars were available from the Broome Visitor Information Centre - great stuff.
