Forster NSW

 Arirved in Forster mid afternoon. We set up the van in the FORSTER BEACH HOLIDAY PARK & MARINA.  http://www.forsterbeachcaravan.com.au/  $66.50 per night for three of us.
It is a big park most sites are a reasonable size. To Peter's dismay, the site we got, although in a good position, had a large slope at the front which made it difficult to level the van. Another happy camper came to help dig out the slope so we could build up the front. It was obvious that this had also been done by previous campers. It was also made difficult by the boat on the site at the back, which we did have to move slightly, so as not to hit it when we finally leveled. Anyway, we walked around to where my mum, sister and her family were staying.

 My sister holidays here every year, and after spending the week, I can understand why.

 It was great to see them again. We haven't seen them since our daughters wedding back in May.

 Jonnie made a lot of new friends - here he is playing cards with his cousin.

 Now they are chasing the ball.

 We took some spectacular photos of sunsets.

 One day we went for a walk in the morning and then a drive around the coast.

 There were some spectacular coastal views - reminded me of the Great Ocean Road.





Our site. Can't really see the slope, but it was there!

We had dinner each evening with my sister. This is one of the many many photos on the walk around.


We went across the long bridge to Tuncurry Bowling Club for dinner one night. 
Here is Jonnie with his older cousins and new friends playing cards at the club after dinner.

Afternoon spent playing cards and talking

Sunset :-)


Looks like a volcano. Amazing sunset.

We had a BBQ a couple of nights, and Take Away a couple of nights.




We did some day trips, one around the local area, and one to Taree area.
We went out to the breakwater to look for dolphins.

We saw heaps, but they were difficult to photograph.






 I did some sewing and visited the local quilt shop to buy some FQ's.
The last day we went to the Arts and Craft centre and that is well worth a visit.
