hallidays point Although part of the Manning Valley and not the Great Lakes, being such a short drive north of Forster it is hard not to include the area in this guide as it is just such a magical part of the world. The collective area known as Hallidays Point actually encompasses the villages of Black Head, Red Head, Diamond Beach, Tallwoods and Hallidays Point itself.

Black Head Beach

Black Head Beach is a multi-award winning beach under the Keep Australia Beautiful program for its cleanliness and its friendly local resident population. It is perfect for families as it’s patrolled in summer and has BBQs, a playground and picnic facilities.

Both Red Head and Black Head encompass littoral rainforest and are great examples of how

There are 130+ stalls offering something for everyone including items that are homemade, handmade, homegrown, collectible, usable or just plain fascinating.

Whitewashed Gallery features unique textured artwork by local artist Kaz, and has a range of quirky collectables. There are handmade treasures to delight, excite and explore. Works are created on site from locally gathered materials such as driftwood mobiles, paintings, beachy

restored furniture, wooden crafts, shell designs, wooden fish art, seahorses, and much more.

Only a 5 minute drive from Black Head, Diamond Beach is definitely worth a visit or to stay a while. The area started out as a beachside fishing village with just a handful of holiday cottages for keen fishermen. Now the area is popular with residents and holidaymakers alike for its beautiful beach and peaceful atmosphere.

Grab a snack or find that special gift at the local Diamond Beach shops. Or continue on to the Ramada Resort where you can relax on their pond-side deck and enjoy a delicious meal or just a coffee or a glass of wine.

Ramada Resort Diamond Beach is set just metres behind Diamond Beach, a six kilometre stretch of white sand that offers superb walking, fishing, surfing and even dolphin watching.

Within the resort itself, there is the new Kindred restaurant, two pools, a tennis court, day spa, and a kid’s club. Offering beachfront seclusion just 25 minutes drive from the townships of Taree and Foster, it’s the perfect getaway for both couples and families.

Accommodation options include one and two bedroom villas, two bedroom cottages, three bedroom beach houses and one and two bed-

place’ in the Worimi Aboriginal language). In 1959, the two towns were linked for the first time with a bridge which replaced a punt service that had operated in one form or another for the previous 69 years.

Forster and Tuncurry sit opposite each other at the entrance to Wallis Lake - a 25km long waterway famous for its oysters, fishing and water sports. Once considered a single town, Forster was originally known as Minimbah (meaning ‘home of teacher’) and was renamed circa 1870 after William Forster, the Secretary of Lands at the time. Likewise, Tuncurry was known as North Shore and later North-Forster up until 1875 when it was renamed Tuncurrie, which then became Tuncurry (meaning ‘plenty fish’ or ‘good fishing

Beach Bums - You certainly don’t get too many places like this in the world. The Beach Bums Café on Forster Main Beach is the perfect spot to start the day. In a picturesque setting with perfect views over the beach, you can enjoy breakfast or lunch or just a fantastic coffee. The kids can play in the sand while you sit back and read the paper and soak in the sun. Keep an eye out for dolphins and whales (in season) - they are only metres away. At Beach Bums shoes are optional (see ad page 10).

pacific palms Pacific Palms is bounded by the area north of Tiona, south to Tarbuck Bay and inland to Whoota and was originally occupied by the Worimi people. The area includes Sandbar, Blueys Beach, Boomerang Beach, Green Point, Coomba Park and Smiths Lake plus Booti Booti and Wallingat National Parks. An ex-convict William Bramble was the area’s first European settler in 1854, followed by one of his grandsons settling north of The Sandbar in the 1880’s. The Godwin family settled at Cape Hawk in 1863 after they had initially settled in Forster. Willie Newman and his family arrived in 1866 and later took up the majority of the land east of the Lakes Way between Smiths Lake and Elizabeth Beach in the early 1900’s.

The first to settle at Booti Booti at the site now known as The Ruins was John Frederick Gogerly and his family. John Frederick was a sea captain who once boasted there wasn’t enough water in the Pacific Ocean to drown him. Ironically he

20 20 DM_forster-A5_10.15.indd 20

was found drowned in Wallis Lake in August 1905 as he was sailing home from Forster with supplies. It was assumed he had suffered a heart attack.

Pacific Palms has become a vibrant little community in its own right with a mix of accommodation options from budget to luxury.

There are numerous small cafes and a few galleries to spend an hour or two fossicking for that something special to remember your holiday by.

The area includes around 80 kilometres of coastline and offers numerous holiday activities ranging from coastal walks, bushwalking and birdwatching through to water activities such as snorkelling, fishing, kayaking and of course surfing and swimming.

On the last Sunday of the month, and more frequently in the holidays, the Community Centre on the Lakes Way hosts the Palm Markets.

The Markets showcase quality handmade, home grown and home baked products from Elizabeth Beach, Shane Chalker Photography

around the Great Lakes region and beyond.

You can sample fabulous International foods including organic vegetarian curries, Turkish gozleme, Asian noodles and German pastries.

Everything from eco and fair trade products, jewellery, art, craft, clothes, plants, fruit, veg and beautiful body products are all on display.

Meanwhile the kids will love the jumping castle and pony rides.

Green Point village, located half way between Forster and Pacific Palms, is a hidden gem.

Surrounded by Wallis Lake and National Park it is one of the few places on the eastern seaboard where you can watch the sun set over a large expanse of water.

It is here that you will find Country Palings Café & Gallery. Relax on the spacious sun deck and enjoy the wonderful scenery and refreshment from their renowned selection of coffees, cakes and drinks. This unique gift shop specialises in hand made silk flower arrangements, jewellery, scarves, candles and handbags - you are sure to find the perfect gift.

Coomba Park is a little coastal village located 35 minutes drive south of Forster. Situated on the edge of the Wallingat National Park and nestled on the western shore of Wallis Lake, directly across from Green Point. With the road finishing at Coomba Park there is not a lot of passing traffic and some residents claim you can hear the silence! The surrounding National Parks provide plenty of good bushwalking and scenic drives. The lakeside walk has great views of Wallis Lake, with benches available to sit and keep an eye out for dolphins. Good fishing is available in the lake itself.

Smiths Lake Is located between the Wallis and Myall Lakes. Although smaller than these two, Smiths Lake is just as beautiful with calm waters separated from the ocean by a large sandbar formation. The entrance gets opened by the council if the lake’s water gets too high or too low. An enormous amount of water activities can be had on Smiths Lake from fishing to boating to canoeing, or just sitting back with a picnic enjoying the sun’s rays.

seal rocks Seal Rocks is a small hamlet beach town south of Pacific Palms and Forster and 310 km north of Sydney. Its fame largely rests on the unique Sugar Loaf Point Lighthouse and the sense of isolation it enjoys. Seal Rocks is one of the few remaining coastal villages that have avoided major development due to a strong local feeling it should remain unspoilt. Located in Myall Lakes National Park, it hosts areas of some of the last remaining coastal rainforests.

This idyllic area offers a moderate climate of warm summer seas and cool summer breezes, sunny winter days and cosy winter nights. The site offers expansive vistas of coastline from Crowdy Head in the north to Port Stephens in the south. Its secluded location offers pristine beaches, azure seas, protected marine wildlife environments, wondrous rockpools, a mythological blowhole, breathtaking rainforest and coastal walks.

Surrounding Sugarloaf Point are the popular tourist areas of Pacific Palms and Myall Lakes, which offer nearby facilities to this otherwise piece of isolated paradise.

This area boasts some of the best pristine beaches and quality surf spots in NSW. It is also known as a recognised dive spot with a large population of grey nurse sharks and some 20 wrecks, which provide a world class diving platform. Fishermen have the advantage of enjoying an array of options with excellent beach, rock, deep sea and game fishing all possible.

The area is abundant and rich with historical and cultural diversity. Five beaches are accessible within 10 minutes and in a short drive you have the Myall, Smiths and Wallis Lakes to explore.

Myall Lake is a World Heritage listed lake and a must to see.

26/11/2015 9:48 pm

waterways Crystal clear and ‘aqua’ in colour, ours is a truly unique waterway system, made up of three lakes the Wallis Lake, Smiths Lake and further south, Myall Lakes.

Wallis Lake is an excellent swimming spot and great for all water sports. There are wonderful islands in the lake, and several are nature reserves with picnic facilities. Dolphins can quite regularly be spotted cavorting underneath the bridge linking Forster and Tuncurry, as well as numerous other locations both in the lakes themselves or surfing the waves along the shoreline. The Myall Lakes cover 10,000 ha and are made up of four main sections: Bombah Broadwater, Two Mile Lake, Boolambayte Lake and Myall Lake.

These beautiful waters are a popular spot for houseboats, families and fishing.

walks & national parks Booti Booti National Park is located on The Lakes Way and is spread over 1,567 hectares just 10 kms south of Forster. With ocean on one side and the Wallis Lake on the other, there is a variety of different ways to explore. This area offers excellent water activities including fishing, sailing, as well as both Elizabeth and Seven Mile Beach. You can camp at The Ruins (camping fees apply), where facilities include hot showers and gas BBQs. At the summit of Cape Hawke there is a viewing tower giving you a panoramic view of the Forster lakes and beaches plus Seal Rocks, Crowdy Head and Wallis Lake. There is a walk (only for the fit) with entry at The Ruins camping ground at the south end of Seven Mile Beach. A short walk towards the headland takes you to Flat Rock, continue around the headland to Elizabeth Beach, but be warned that the grade is steep. An alternative for the less energetic is to cross The Lakes Way to the edge of Wallis Lake and follow the shoreline around to the Green Cathedral. The ocean and lakeside walks combined cover 7km. From the Elizabeth Beach end, the access is via Lethbridge Rd up the headland to a good viewing point of the beach and coastline.

Wallinghat National Park contains eucalypt forests supporting a number of threatened plant and animal species. Activities include canoeing, bushwalking, bird watching, and scenic drives, with camping grounds, public toilets, walking tracks and picnic tables. The park is located 30 km southeast of Forster along the Lakes Way and Sugar Creek Road. Note that all roads within the park are unsealed. There are a number of good walks by following fire trails, which lead you down to the river for some great fishing. Whoota Lookout is one of the best natural viewing platforms on the mid-north coast, providing magnificent views of 100 kilometres of coastline from Port Macquarie to Port Stephens.

Myall Lakes National Park is one of New South Wales’ largest coastal lake systems and one of the most visited parks in NSW. It incorporates 31,562 ha of headlands, forest, swampland and a staggering 10,000 ha of coastal lagoons. These lagoons - Myall Lake, Boolambyte Lake, Two Mile Lake and The Broadwater - are linked by narrow straits which form a continuous waterway joined to Port Stephens by the lower Myall River. Between the lakes and the sea, are high sand dunes and 40 km of almost unbroken beaches. There is a ferry at Bombah Point which leaves every half hour from 8.00a.m - 6.00p.m. The car ferry transports you across to Myall Shores, from this point a walking track leads to the mouth of the Upper Myall River. A very poor quality unsealed road leads to the township of Bulahdelah just 15 kms away.

If you can tear yourself away from the region’s beautiful beaches and waterways, you can picnic in some of the most scenic spots the region has to offer. Most with great playgrounds for the kids, or nestled on the banks of the river there is a grassy patch for everyone. Tuncurry also has a fantastic Skate Park located on Point Road, Tuncurry, opposite Wallis Lake in John Fazio Park. Map ref: E8. So grab a chicken and your picnic blanket and relax, you’re on holidays!
