When we were last here about two years ago it was 40o but is definitely different at present. Did a drive around Tuncurry and Forster and later a stroll around the local town centre shops.

Forster is on the southern side of the entrance to Wallis Lake and Tuncurry on the northern side. Set up camp and had lunch and then explored on foot. The caravan park is in a great place by the lake entrance and the beach and right next to the town centre. We ended up in a great spot right by the water. http://www.travelblog.org//Oceania/Australia/New-South-Wales/Forster/blog-227975.html It's been another weekend where the locals have been putting us up...those long hot hours on the street with the hobbo stick drooped over one shoulder crying Please sir can I've some more have really paid off.
