Description: The girls arrive at the lake party in a VW bus as the men finish their sproinging practice for the fun to come.

This song probably originated with British personnel in India in 1880 but really became popular in WWII. The song is well done by Shani (or is it Shayne?) even though the video includes the "look what I caught fishing" bikini gag. The scopitone ends with the women leaving in their VW bus. From an original "table tent" design. Scopitone S-1028. Scopitones are music films made for a video jukebox in the 1960s. There were over 70 American ones produced and hundreds of European ones, featuring well-known artists of the time.
Description: Forster is that NSW coast sweet spot where your days can be split perfectly between ocean and lake, surf one minute, calm water the next. Think golden beaches, Wallis Lake vibes, and easy access to Booti Booti National Park, an 8km peninsula wedged between the Pacific and the lake, packed with beaches, rainforest walks, and lookouts. Add the Cape Hawke lookout for those “how good is this” views, and even whale-watching season if you time it right. If Forster is your holiday ritual, your hometown, or your future “one day I’ll move there” plan, this design is an instant badge of coast-life pride.
