Taree - Fast Facts

Taree (including Manning Point, Old Bar and Saltwater)
Substantial service centre on the Manning River.
One of the major towns on the rivers of the New South Wales Mid North Coast, Taree is idyllically situated on the Manning River 317 km north-east of Sydney. The Pacific Highway runs right through the town taking a sharp turn on either end of the bridge over the Manning River before heading north and south. It is a big, modern, attractive town servicing the surrounding rural industries and driven by the tourists and travellers who pass through the town. It is located 16km inland from the mouth of the Manning River and consequently has tended to develop more as a service centre and stopover point than as an actual tourist destination.

Visitor Information Centre
There is an excellent and very comprehensive Visitor Information Centre which is located on the Pacific Highway north of the town centre. It is well worth visiting and has good parking. For more information contact 1800 801 522.
