If it’s a coastal escape you’re after, basing yourself at one of our seaside villages will allow you to relax, unwind and
soak up our laid back surfing culture.
Black Head & Hallidays PointAt the southern end of the Manning Valley you will discover the coastal area of Hallidays Point, taking in Black Head, Tallwoods, Red Head and Diamond Beach.
Black Head Beach is a multi-award winning beach and is patrolled during
the summer months. It features an ocean pool, excellent
fishing, picnic and BBQ areas under shady Norfolk
pines. Another highlight of this area is a littoral rainforest walk which encompasses striking coastal landforms as well as rare tracts of coastal rainforest.
Other activities in the Hallidays Point area include an 18 hole championship golf
course, a bowling club and nearby, The Big Buzz
Fun Park which is ideal for families with three open
waterslides, speed karts, swimming pools and many
more activities.
Old Bar & Manning PointThe vibrant seaside village of Old Bar provides access to the Manning River and ocean, attracting visitors throughout the year seeking a relaxed laid-back atmosphere.
Old Bar Beach is the closest surfing beach to Taree and just a 10-minute drive from the Pacific Highway. This location is perfect for fishing, boating and water sports for the whole family.
Old Bar is also home to the Old Bar Beach Festival which is held each year over the October long weekend. Thousands of visitors come to town for the array of festivities over two action-packed days.
Manning Point is both a riverside and seaside location where the sea and the north arm of the Manning River meet at this idyllic point. Over the years the lands of Farquhar Inlet and Manning Point have been the most successful breeding and fledgling sites in the State for the endangered shore bird, the Little Tern.
Relax your days away in this picturesque village by swimming at the beach, launching your boat for a fish or pack a picnic and take in the views.

Beautiful Harrington & Crowdy Head
Come and discover one of the jewels of the Manning Valley. Home to sweeping beaches, crystal waters and stunning views.
HarringtonTen minutes north of Taree and just off the highway is the tranquil seaside village of Harrington which sits at the northern mouth of the Manning River.
In 1894 a long breakwall was built to protect the entry channel for shipping, which now serves as a scenic walk and great fishing location. The nearby Pilot Hill Lookout provides expansive views over the river delta and the graves on the hill bear witness to the pilots whose task was to guide the boats over the bar.
A taste of holidays from our past, Harrington’s relaxed seaside lifestyle is a welcome escape from today’s frantic pace. Stroll along waterfront pathways where bollards form a visual display of Harrington’s history. Rest in riverside parks or cast a line for that elusive catch of the day. See the resident pelicans rest atop colourfully painted power poles waiting for the fishing boats to return.
There are riverside and seaside caravan parks, cabins, pubs, clubs and cafés with great views so you can watch the hive of activity happening on the river.
Crowdy HeadJust north of Harrington, the small fishing village of Crowdy Head retains evidence of its European settlement and history around the area with a strong maritime flavour.
A must do for all is a visit to the iconic Crowdy Head Lighthouse. The lighthouse perched high on the headland provides 360-degree views of the coast. Between May and August, keep your eye out for passing humpback whales. The lighthouse itself is picturesque and a great place for a photograph as well as being easily accessible on a sealed road.
Driving north of Crowdy Head you can enter Crowdy Bay National Park. There are two camping spots, Crowdy Gap and Diamond Head. The Park provides spectacular cliff top views, easy walking tracks, abundant wildlife and good fishing. Diamond Head and Indian Head provide unforgettable backdrops to the colourful wildflower displays in spring and summer. Access to the park is via an unsealed road from Crowdy Head or from Moorland 35 kilometres north of Taree.
History and literary buffs should also visit the hut near Diamond Head of celebrated Australian novelist Kylie Tennant, affectionately named ‘Kylie’s Hut’. This retreat in nature was the inspiration for her novel, The Man on the Headland.

Naturally inviting
The Manning River is the heart of our Valley and provides the perfect environment for boating, fishing, water sports
and tranquil picnic spots.
Double deltaThe Manning River is quite impressive. It is the only double delta river system in Australia with two entrances to the ocean, one at Old Bar and the other at Harrington. With more than 150 kilometres of navigable waterways, it is not surprising that the Manning River is a recreational fishing haven, luring fishermen to the region from all over Australia.
By boat you can also discover the riverside towns of Taree, Tinonee, Harrington, Croki and Manning Point. It’s also not uncommon to see dolphins swimming by and splashing in the wake of your boat, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled!
It is the extensive mangrove stands and large areas of wetlands important for aquatic birds, together with intensive oyster farming, fish and prawn production that make the Manning River the lifeblood of our Valley.
Hook, line and sinkerThe Manning Valley is a fisherman’s paradise, with a place to drop a line or experience adventure fishing around every corner.
Fish our numerous, pristine freshwater streams for Australian Bass (perch) or our estuaries for quality flathead, bream and whiting.
Land based game fishermen, who love the thrill of the chase are invited to take advantage of our uncrowded beaches and headlands. Those who prefer to pursue the big blue water species such as snapper, jewfish or marlin, we have numerous boat launching facilities throughout the region.
Pick up a fishing licence at the Manning Valley Visitor Information Centre or selected local outlets.

Gabriel Darzi The SicilianThe opening of The Sicilian Italian restaurant in Taree made a huge splash. The Manning Valley now sports a restaurant that has the quality of decor, atmosphere and excellent food you would normally associate with Sydney or Melbourne.
Gabriel’s attention to detail inspires and he is always ready to try something new. A new kerb-side dining space, ‘The Parklet’, on Victoria Street Taree is testament to this.
Gabriel Darzi is not only our local celebrity chef but is also the most personable host. His authentic Southern Italian menu uses the freshest produce. Trust us, you wont leave feeling hungry!

Riverside Taree
Located on the Manning River, Taree is the major commercial centre of the Manning Valley and is a great place to base yourself

found growing in the region.

Wonderful Wingham
A ten-minute drive west of Taree is the historic town of Wingham.
Settled in 1853 on the banks of the Manning River, Wingham offers visitors the opportunity to step back in time. Its rich heritage is evident in the many National Trust listed Federation buildings which surround the town.
From the second you drive past the Wingham town entry sign you enter the history of the Manning. To the left is Chrissy Gollan Park, originally the site of Chinese market gardens and now an open green space for meeting friends, throwing a ball around, having a picnic or just relaxing under the shade of a tree.
Spend some time at the Historical Museum, which is open 7 days and showcases a vast collection of interesting memorabilia. Shop at the gorgeous boutique stores and eat at one of the local cafés, where you can savour the flavours of fresh local produce.
Down by the river’s edge you will discover Wingham Brush, a nature reserve with a difference. Covering 8 hectares of subtropical floodplain rainforest, it is one of only a few remnants of this rare rainforest type in Australia. Giant Moreton Bay figs tower over a gently winding boardwalk, where you will discover a large colony of endangered grey-headed flying foxes.
The weekends in Wingham are filled with colourful markets and the chance for you to purchase fresh, locally grown produce, hand crafted gifts, clothes, candles and more!
Each October, splendid sounds mingle with the heritage surroundings as the Wingham Akoostik Festival kicks into action. Music lovers are drawn to town for three days of live entertainment, workshops and quality food and market stalls.
Surprising Nabiac
If you’re travelling north from Sydney, the first village you’ll come across is Nabiac, and while it may not seem like much from the road, there is
so much to see and do. Nabiac is a charming township that houses the National Motorcycle Museum of Australia, some gorgeous boutique shops, delicious cafés, a local winery and an award winning farmstay - all within a short drive from the town centre.
The National Motorcycle Museum of Australia is a must see - and not only for motorbike enthusiasts! The museum is owned by the Kelleher family and plays host to over 700 motorcycles, a huge range of memorabilia, toys and an extensive gift shop.
Nabiac is also home to some fantastic vintage shops for visitors to meander through and snap up bargain buys. There is something for everyone with wares including retro furniture, clothing, jewellery, knick-knacks and other unique gift ideas. Once the hunger has built up, the Greenhouse Café nearby offers delicious meals, superb organic coffee and beautiful gardens to relax and take in the surroundings.
A trip to the local winery, Villa d’Esta Vineyard, is another popular experience that is not to be missed.
This scenic winery is made up of 12 acres of grapes and the passionate
Hungarian wine maker takes great pleasure in sharing his
wines and explaining their traditional wine making
techniques.
Just out of town, visitors can stretch their legs and minds at the unique Honeycomb Valley Farm which is a ‘little farm with a big picture’. It’s a great place to
take the kids as they can meet
the friendly farm animals, learn about
stingless native bees and you can check out
the farm gate shop.

The Manning Valley is an area rich with natural assets and unexplored forests. From the coast to the hinterland,
the Manning Valley offers 9 stunning National Parks and Reserves that conceal some of our best kept secrets.
Crowdy Bay National ParkCrowdy Bay National Park (9,519 hectares) has long been admired for its rugged coastline cliffs, rockpools and beaches, while its heath and forests are a haven for wildlife. At low tide, explore the rock formations and pools along the cliff-base walk.
There is great fishing, plenty of opportunities for swimming, surfing and water activities and it is a particularly fruitful area for bird watching.
The park’s main topographical feature and its highest point, is Diamond Head, which rises abruptly to 113 metres. It takes its name from quartz crystals that are found in the area.
A number of camping areas at Diamond Head accommodate short term camping with amenities, tables and fireplaces.
Coorabakh National ParkAround 25 kilometres north of Taree take a drive through Coorabakh National Park. Wander amongst giant Blackbutt forest over the shaded boardwalks of the Starrs Creek sub tropical rainforest. Amble down along a fresh creek to Newbys Cave and if the day is warm you simply have to take yourself for a dip in the ever cool Waitui Falls. Some of the most amazing views over the Manning Valley and out to the coastline can be enjoyed here from both Newbys and Flat Rock lookouts.
Be sure to check out Big Nellie, Flat Nellie and Little Nellie, prominent ancient volcanic plugs which are part of the same volcanic vent that formed the famous Glass House Mountains in Queensland.
Good overnight camping facilities are available at Coopernook Forest Park located in the adjacent Coopernook State Forest, just 10 minutes from the highway.

Tapin Tops National Park Tapin Tops National Park (10,828 ha) is located on Knodingbul Road, approximately 30kms north-west of Wingham.
The Tapin Tops rest area is a well developed picnic area, with amenities, gas BBQs, picnic shelters and some gorgeous shady camp spots. The park was once a forestry work camp and features an array of European deciduous trees that do well in this mountain environment. Most noticeable is the row of impressive Californian redwoods which were planted in the rich volcanic soil in the early 1960’s.
Two walks are available off the picnic area; an easy 15 minute rainforest walk featuring a variety of rainforest species like Red Cedar, Coachwood, Brushbox, Corkwood and Yellow Carabeen. Or opt for the more strenuous 35 minute walk through open Sclerophyll forest, taking in some stunning trees and ferns commonly found in the area.
Potoroo picnic area located on Little Run Creek is a beautiful place for a picnic. The spectacular Potoroo Falls lie a kilometre upstream past NSW’s largest recorded Watergum in the adjacent State Forest. Take your swimming gear on a hot day, the water’s great. Tapin Tops also offers some great 4WDing opportunities.
Saltwater National ParkSaltwater National Park adjoining Saltwater beach has special significance for the local Aboriginal community (Biripi). This National Park contains Aboriginal sites, which relate to Dreamtime beliefs and a section of the park has been declared an Aboriginal Place.
There is swimming and surfing at the beach and canoeing in the tranquil waters of Khappinghat Creek. The lagoon nestled against the Reserve provides safe swimming for families.
The picnic area has gas BBQs, picnic tables, amenities and cold showers. Take a walk through the rainforest on the headland or explore the Five Islands walking track, which follows Khappinghat Creek in the Nature Reserve.

If you get to the Brush on sunset, the sight of thousands of flying foxes heading out for the evening meal is just amazing.
There is also overnight camping available for self-contained vehicles at the entrance to the brush on Wingham Reserve.
Cattai WetlandsJust off the Pacific Highway at Spring Hill Road lives Cattai Wetlands, a beautiful coastal wetland and hidden gem of the Manning Valley.
Cattai Wetlands provide a sanctuary for over 180 species of birds, kangaroos, wallabies and regularly spotted goannas. Make your way along one of the many walking tracks, go bird watching, take a picnic or just relax and enjoy the scenery.

Start the drive in the river town of Taree which is the major commercial centre of the Manning Valley boasting great shopping and restaurants. Tinonee, which is one of the earliest settlements in the Manning Valley, is where you can step back in time at the local museum.
The half way point between Taree and Gloucester is Krambach where you can have a hit of golf at ‘Royal Krambach’ and enjoy a counter lunch at the historical pub. Continuing along The Buckets Way is Gloucester, a town that actually sits in the crater of an ancient volcano and is surrounded by magnificent mountain ranges. Stroud is where you can grab a coffee and do one of the lovely heritage walks.
Continue along Tourist Drive 2 to join the Pacific Highway at Raymond Terrace.
Rainbow Flat • Forster • Tuncurry • Pacific Palms • Seal Rocks Along the way: Beaches: Hallidays Point. Black Head, Red Head and Diamond Beach: Wallamba River, Wallis Lake, Smiths Lake, Myall Lakes, Sugar Loaf Point Lighthouse and The Grandis, the tallest tree in NSW in Myall Lakes National Park.
Heading south from Taree along the Pacific Highway, you will reach the exit sign for Rainbow Flat to commence Tourist Drive 6. Just 10 minutes down the road you will find the turn off for the quaint seaside villages of Hallidays Point, Black Head, Red Head and Diamond Beach where you can take your pick of pristine beaches for a swim.
Continuing along The Lakes Way you will follow the Wallamba River, into the picturesque twin towns of Forster and Tuncurry. From the breakwall, it’s not uncommon to spot dolphins, turtles and seals.
South from Forster there is Booti Booti National Park, Pacific Palms, Coomba Park, Smith Lakes, Wallingat National Park and Seal Rocks.
The drive will then continue through the picturesque Myall Lakes National Park until you meet back up with the highway near the historic town of Bulahdelah.
Taree • Wingham • Bobin • Elands • Comboyne • WauchopeAlong the way: Bent On Food, Wingham Brush, Wingham Historical Museum, Red Tail Wines, Ellenborough Falls, Timbertown.
Tourist Drive 8 is a beautiful drive that meanders through some of the most lush and fertile land on the Mid North Coast.
From Taree you will head to the historic township of Wingham where you’ll discover 10 ha of subtropical flood plain rainforest at Wingham Brush. Stroll along a gently winding boardwalk, spot flying foxes and admire the giant Moreton Bay figs. Enjoy the Wingham Museum, lunch at a local café and enjoying some retail therapy at the local boutique stores is also a must.
From Wingham, follow the tourist signs to Ellenborough Falls, where you will pass through the quaint village of Bobin. At 200 metres, Ellenborough Falls is one of the longest single drop waterfalls in the Southern Hemisphere with great views from the top or for the more adventurous, the walk to the bottom of the Gorge has 641 steps.
Once you’re done admiring the falls, your next stop is Comboyne, a gorgeous village with lush country views. Be sure to pick up some cheese and check out the quirky local café! Continue through the village and the road will lead you to Wauchope, which is home to Timbertown. Make sure you stop, check it out and take a step back in time.

The views from the Headland walking track at Saltwater National Park, are not only spectacular, it is a great place to go whale watching. Explore the Five Islands Walking Track which follows Khappinghat Creek in the nature reserve. Go paddle boarding, swim or fish amongst the mangroves. Swim, surf or fish at the beach.

Naturally historic Throughout the Manning Valley there are reminders of our proud
indigenous, pioneering, agricultural and maritime history.
Our HistoryThe original occupiers of the Manning Valley were speakers of the Biripi language. Today the term Biripi has come to signify the people rather than just the language.
The first European settlers and explorers arrived in the Manning Valley in the early 1800’s. As they arrived they observed the lifestyle of the populous Aboriginal people, spread over the entire region, occupying all manner of ecosystems, marine, riverine and inland. There were distinct groups of Aboriginal people and attributed lands around various points in the landscape. These distinct groups had lifestyles and
material cultures varying slightly from one another, depending upon their
immediate environment. However, they all spoke the Biripi language.
Saltwater Reserve has special significance for
the local Aboriginal community. It contains Aboriginal sites which relate to Dreamtime beliefs. The reserve is part of the Saltwater National Park.
European recognition of the Manning Valley dates back to Captain Cook’s voyage along the east coast in 1770 when he named the mountain ranges to the north of Taree as South, Middle and North Brother mountains.
John Oxley first explored the Manning Valley in 1818 when he named Harrington on the mouth of the Manning River. Later that same year he named the second Manning River outlet Farquhar Lake, believing it to be lake rather than a river outlet. Today the area is known as Old Bar. In Harrington and Crowdy Head, information signs can be found on Pilot Hill and Crowdy Headland outlining the macabre maritime history with stories of ship wrecks and drownings.
The first township settlement was “Bungay” at Wingham as a farm settlement in the 1840s and Wingham and Tinonee were established in the 1850s as government towns, their function being river ports for the cedar trade. These towns, along with Taree and Cundletown on both sides of the Manning River boast rich pioneering and agricultural history, which can be discovered at one of our three regional museums located at Tinonee, Wingham and Cundletown.
The last of the Australian bushrangers – Jimmy Governor, an Aboriginal
(The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith) was captured at Bobin near
Wingham. The jail where he was held before he was hung still stands in the Wingham Historical Museum.
In the Manning Valley we are proud of our heritage and look forward to sharing it with you.
