Monday 23rd April:
We had a very quite day relaxing around the van in Mudgee. We had a wander along the riverside parklands then walked through town to check out the shops. We again joined our other neighbours for happy hour.
Tuesday 24th April:
We decided to move today down to the coast. We should have checked the weather chart first. We left beautiful sunshine in Mudgee and by the time we reached Singleton it was pouring down. The rain stayed with us all the way up the coast. We figured if we kept going it would finally stop. We decided to pull in at Tuncurry and hope for the best. Amazingly the skies cleared about 10 minutes out from the town. It had been a long day driving and we were greatful to find a lovely van park right on the water. The
Wednesday 25th April:
It’s drizzling rain again this morning, we are hoping it clears for the Anzac Day march at 
Thursday 26th April:
Ferg went for a long walk out to the Tuncurry breakwater this morning. He said the water is crystal clear and there lots of pelicans hanging around. The whole area is one big lake system with the river dividing the towns of Forster and Tuncurry. It is a very popular fishing spot. We tried our luck fishing out the front of the van park but only got tiddlers.
Friday 27th April:
We found the local shopping centre in Forster and had a bit of a wander. We bowled in the afternoon at the Sporties Club. It rained on and off but we still managed to finish our game.
Saturday 28th April:
Raining again today, it did ease a little in the afternoon. We took a walk out along the breakwater and watched some dolphins riding the waves. We tried fishing again without any luck, I caught a small sole which went back in.
Sunday 29th April:
It was a beautiful morning. Ferg took the rods down to the front of the park again for a fish. I took my embroidery and sat in the sun. It was very pleasant but again no fish. We bowled at the Tuncurry Bowls Club in the afternoon.
Monday 30th April:
Ferg bowled at Sporties Club today. I went to Foster Stockland and also checked out a local Art and Craft exhibition. Ferg had a good day at bowls and won a chook, again!
Tuesday 1st May:
We both played bowls in the morning at Forster Bowls Club. I trialed a 2nd hand set of Taylor Vector bowls and did very well with them. I decided to buy them as it’s about time I had my own set of bowls. They are blue and have a seahorse symbol so they were definitely meant for me. Ferg gave the car and van a good wash in the afternoon. We went for a walk along the water at sunset and got some good photos.
Wednesday 2nd May:
I attended ladies day at the Tuncurry Bowls Club. I had a good game, an enjoyable lunch and even won $5. Ferg played bowls at the Sporties Club with the men.
Thursday 3rd May:
I enjoyed another ladies day at the Sporties Club this morning. Ferg and Twistie went fishing then picked me up after lunch.
Friday 4th May:
Ferg and I took Twistie for a long walk out to the breakwater in the early morning, The water looks so inviting. We played mixed bowls in the afternoon at Sporties. We rang the dive shop in the evening and booked in for a dive tomorrow.
Saturday 5th May:
We geared up in our wetsuits and we arrived at the dive shop by 
Sunday 6th May:
We played an informal mixed bowls game in the morning at the Forster Bowls Club. The afternoon was spent relaxing around the van.
Monday 7th May:
It’s our last full day in Tuncurry. We stocked up with groceries and called into the dive shop to show off Ferg’s underwater photos. We visited the Sporties club for a roll up in the afternoon. The Forster Tuncurry area is very pretty and we would like to return here again.
