Forster-Tuncurry
Twin towns on either side of Wallis Lake. Popular holiday resort.
Forster and Tuncurry, located 312 km north of Sydney, are two coastal towns which are now essentially one conglomerate urban mass separated by a very large concrete bridge. They sit on opposite sides of the entrance to Wallis Lake which is 26 km long. Thus the two towns are fronted by the ocean to the east and the lake to the west. The combined population is currently 24 000. The endangered bird species, the little tern, breeds on two of the lake's many islets.

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.

Captain Cook and Matthew Flinders sailed by the area in 1770 and 1799 respectively. Two ships were wrecked off Cape Hawke in 1816, presumably introducing the first white people to the area. The Captain of one of the ships, his wife, child and two crew reached Newcastle. The rest were presumed killed by the indigenous inhabitants of the area.

In 1818, John Oxley and his party, en route to Sydney after an inland expedition, carried a boat from Booti Booti to Boomerang Beach where they spent the night. One of the party was speared by the local Aborigines (the Wallamba, a sub-group of the Worimi people) who watched them from canoes. Oxley named Wallis Lake after the commandant of the penal settlement at Newcastle.

This area was issued as part of the million-acre land grant to the Australian Agricultural Company (AAC) in 1825 but they found this section of their grant of no use and exchanged it. Nonetheless, it is said that the Chinese shepherds hired by the AAC in the 1850s fished off the coast here and dried their wares for sale to their countrymen on the goldfields.

Timbergetters investigated Cape Hawke in 1831 and they appear to have treated the indigenous inhabitants very badly. They later scoured the rainforests for cedar and pine using the Wang Wauk River and Wallis Lake to float logs to the coast.

The first European settlers on the townsite were the Godwin family who set off from Gosford in 1856. William Godwin established very cordial relations with the Aboriginal population and sent wild honey and Cape Hawke oysters to Sydney. One of his daughters was the first white person to be born in the area.

The townsite, then known as 'Minimbah', was first surveyed in 1869 and renamed in 1870 after William Forster - then secretary of lands. A school opened in 1870 and a pilot station in 1872. John Breckenridge established a saw mill (and a store) on the townsite in 1871 and engaged in shipbuilding as the waterways were virtually the sole means of transport at the time. In the 1880s he built the biggest sawmill in the district 15 km north at Failford where he also built a store (which doubled as a post office) and a hall.

Other settlers followed and the first hotel was built in 1874 and the first church (Methodist) in 1876, the year the first constable arrived. A school of arts was built in 1878 and a second store was opened the following year.

Timbergetting, milling, shipbuilding and fishing were the principal industries in the early days with sailing ships then steamships carrying fortnightly cargoes to Sydney. The first oyster lease at Forster was granted in 1884, the year of a typhoid outbreak at the settlement. A breakwater was built on the southern side of the Wallis Lake entrance between 1900 and 1903.

Tuncurry, a good swim away on the other side of the entrance to Wallis Lake, was known as North Forster until 1875 when John Wright, his foreman, a sawyer and a builder set up camp there in 1875. They established cordial relations with the local Aborigines and adopted their place-name of 'Tuncurry' which is thought to mean 'good fishing place'. At that time Tuncurry consisted largely of tea-tree swamp and cabbage tree palms. By 1878 Wright had established a sawmill, a store, a shipbuilding yard and houses for his employees. He established a school in what is now Peel St which was replaced by a government school in 1881 and the settlement's first church (the Latter Day Saints) opened in the old school room. A Catholic Church was built in 1888 and a post office opened at Tuncurry in 1889. The settlement was proclaimed a village in 1893. The first hotel and hall were built there the following year, an ice-works in 1895 and a butter factory in 1917. Two Italian immigrants transformed the fishing industry of Tuncurry in the 1890s.

With the building of the bridge in 1959 the two towns blurred with traffic passing easily from one centre to the other. Prior to the bridge a ferry joined the two towns. The first such means of conveyance, a rowboat, commenced operations in 1890. The first vehicular ferry was established in 1922. Today fishing and oyster leases and tourism are the mainstays of the local economy.

The International Iron Man Triathlon in April is a decisive competition drawing competitors from around the world. The Forster-Tuncurry Fishing Competition and Forster Cultural Festival are held in June, an open art exhibition in September, the Oyster Festival and the Open Gardens Scheme in October, and a market is held at the Forster town park on the second Sunday of the month.
