Greater Taree is situated within the Mid North Coast Region of New South Wales.

Taree’s varied accommodation options make this a fine base for exploring the many attractions of the Manning River Valley. These include natural attractions of the coast and hinterland national parks and state forests, as well as several surrounding villages of considerable charm. Among them are Cundletown, Tinonee, Hannam Vale, Wingham, Harrington, Crowdy Head, Old Bar, Manning Point and Halliday's Point.

History

European settlement in the area followed the familiar local pattern of pioneering cedar cutters followed by pastoralists. A number of public buildings, hotels and churches were built in the second half of the 19th century, but it was not until the completion of the railway in 1913 that Taree began to flourish as the centre of a prosperous rural district.

Things to do

Scenic drives around Taree - including through the Coorabakh National Park, from Wingham to Elands, with Ellenborough Falls a highlight, and through Tapin Tops National Park.

Pack a picnic to enjoy in national parks in the area or by the Manning River in Taree.

Boating, fishing, swimming and surfing at pretty towns along the coast from Wallabi Point to Crowdy Head.

Bushwalking in national parks in the area, including the coastal rainforest walk at Hallidays Point.
