Saturday - Day trip to Forster (54kms)

This morning we said goodbye to our lovely neighbours, who were leaving to go back to Sydney. We packed up the van and drove the 30kms north to a town called Forster (the biggest town in the Lakes area).

On the drive up we stopped at a spectacular viewpoint called Hawks Point, where we had 360 degree views of the whole region.

Once in Forster we stopped for a 50 cent icecream at McDonalds and a chance to check our emails! Then drove to the information office to ask about Internet access. We went on a bit of a wild goose chase around the town, before arriving at Club Forster - a huge Aussie equivalent to a Working Mens Club. After becoming temporary members we huddled around the only PC in the building amongst the 100 odd silver tops who were playing bingo. The only problem is the computer is so old that we cannot load pictures, so they will follow shortly (hopefully by Tuesday when we get to Nambucca Heads, our next big town).

Lunch is at the beach in Forster before heading back to Pacific Palms for our last night at the Caravan Park before leaving tomorrow, destination Port MacQuarie.

Lunch was at a picturesque spot next to the beach, and after which we drove back to the caravan park and walked across to Elizabeth Beach for sunset. We sat watching the waves lap on the shore, read our books and enjoyed the last hour on sunshine.

On returning to the van we fired up the site BBQ and Ben (camp chef) did hotdogs.

Our last night at Pacific Palms was lovely, and finally the possums came out to play and posed for photos!!

Last but not least we would like to wish Adele and Nan Chorley Happy Birthday!!!
