Overview

Forster is a coastal town on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, set on traditional Worimi land and linked to its smaller twin, Tuncurry, by the 1959 Coolongolook River bridge. With 14,187 residents recorded in the 2021 census, the town enjoys a humid subtropical climate, warm summers and mild winters, and easy access to white‑sand beaches such as Main, Burgess and One Mile, as well as nearby reserves like Kenrose and Friendship. A lively surf‑life‑saving culture and a range of local sporting clubs give families and active retirees plenty of outdoor recreation.

Because it lies under four hours’ drive from Sydney, Forster‑Tuncurry swells with holidaymakers each summer, supporting a mix of permanent family homes and seasonal accommodation. Local conveniences include the Forster Library, the Great Lakes College campus, a variety of shops and restaurants that peak in the warmer months, and nearby parks and bays such as Pipers Bay and Burgess Beach. The bridge connection and well‑maintained road links provide straightforward transport to Tuncurry and the broader Mid‑Coast region.
