Forster-Tuncurry

Forster-Tuncurry
The twin towns of Forster and Tuncurry lie at the entrance to Wallis Lake, on either side of the Wallamba River. These coastal towns are located 312 km north of Sydney, these town are now nearly one conglomerate urban mass separated by a very large concrete bridge. Forster-Tuncurry is a very typical holiday resort with all the strengths (lots of accommodation, plenty of places to eat takeaway food and local seafood, good fishing, surfing and swimming areas, a casual atmosphere) and weaknesses (it looks as though it was built three weeks ago, there are plenty of three-storey apartment blocks and little intimacy) that such resorts have.
