Forster

We spent the morning on Elizabeth Beach at Pacific Palms, a small sandy spot between two headlands. We lunched at Forster and walked out past all the motorboats and cruisers to the Hawkes Head entrance to the ocean. In the turquoise waters we watched dolphins before walking back across the beach to a lookout. Back at base the parrots were noisily arguing over which one we should feed first.
Next day, a strong breeze cooled the coast while most of the rest of the country sweltered in extreme heat. We had a body board session and collected pumice stones. I paddled the lake after lunch, seeing jellyfish as big as footballs and scaring the black swans from their slumbers on a sandbank. We walked through the palms to Shelley Beach in the evening before watching the sunset at Wallis Lake.
