Forster
Wallis Lake defines the setting of Forster — its estuarine waters reach the Pacific Ocean through a narrow entrance, giving the town a close relationship with both lake and coast. Forster and Tuncurry stand on opposite sides of this opening, joined by the Forster–Tuncurry Bridge. Rock breakwalls guide the channel and form a firm edge between sheltered water and the open ocean. The entrance is central to the area’s boating, fishing and beachgoing life, while lakeside foreshores are as important to the town as its ocean beaches. Forster takes its name from William Forster, a 19th-century New South Wales politician and premier.

Forster sits at the mouth of Wallis Lake on the New South Wales coast, where the lake’s broad estuary meets the Pacific Ocean beside Tuncurry. The Forster–Tuncurry Bridge links the two towns across the entrance channel, while Forster Main Beach and One Mile Beach follow the oceanfront. South of town, Booti Booti National Park occupies a narrow coastal strip between Wallis Lake and the sea, with Cape Hawke among its headlands. Forster was named for William Forster, a 19th-century New South Wales politician, adding a historical note to this established coastal centre.

New South Wales is widely known within Australia for Sydney Harbour, home to the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The state extends from the Pacific coastline across the Great Dividing Range to wide inland plains within the Murray–Darling Basin. Sydney is Australia’s largest city and a major centre for finance, arts and international travel, while inland districts are strongly associated with farming and long distances between towns. The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, form part of a UNESCO World Heritage area of eucalyptus forests, sandstone escarpments and deep valleys.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
