82. South West Rocks, Hat Head, Forster


SOUTH WEST MAGIC
No, we didn’t just fish here. This has got to be one of the best spots, bar none. The family had a great stay here. The caravan park, ‘The Big 4’ was the best van park that we stayed in. The locals were friendly, the restaurants & clubs great, the beaches long, clean & unspoilt & did I mention the fishing ?

Can’t wait to get back to this part of Oz.

HAT HEAD
Hat Head would have to be the most unchanged, quiet little spot in this region. I was last there about 30 years ago & remains virtually unchanged.

FORSTER
We enjoyed a few night in Forster & the whole gang enjoyed the experience. Yes it was busy to what we had become accustomed too, but it is truly a pretty place a remains pristine despite the masses that come to this tourist hotspot annually. This is the area known as ‘The Great Lakes’. You could spend weeks exploring the rivers, lakes & creeks up here. We were fortunate to spend a great day on the river alongside the dolphins that inhabit these waters. Later that night we treated ourselves to  a Mexican dinner on the water’s edge. The food was great as was the live entertainment.
