View from the one kilometre long bridge which links Forster and Tuncurry situated opposite each other at the entrance to Wallis Lake. The bridge replaced a punt service in 1959. This Great Lakes region consists of a three lake system: Wallis Lake, Smiths Lake and Myall Lakes and the area is home to the Worimi people. Forster used to be called Minimbah meaning 'home of teacher' and Tuncurry means 'plenty fish' or 'good fishing place' in the Worimi Aboriginal language. Forster was renamed after William Forster in 1875.
Yachts and cabin cruisers anchored in the pristine waters of Wallis Lake at Forster boat harbour.
Time to share morning coffee on the banks of a Wallis Lake inlet. Ancient mangroves grow along the banks of Wallis Island providing a never ending food supply for the herons, egrets, varieties of wild duck and white bellied fish eagles....an ever changing vista.
My lavender 'garden' which now accompanies us on our travels! A lone shell is a reminder of Rainbow Beach.
