About The Manning Valley
Located less than 3 hours north of Sydney, the region covers an area of 3,752 sq km. It ranges from Johns River to the north, south toward Bunyah and west to Nowendoc.
The Valley is focussed around Taree, with the towns of Wingham, Old Bar, Harrington and Hallidays Point major population centres. We have a population of approximately 48,000 residents including around 2,000 Indigenous citizens.
Scenic drives around Taree are some of the best in NSW; don't miss the route through the Coorabakh National Park, with Ellenborough Falls a highlight, and through Tapin Tops National Park.
Boating, fishing, swimming and surfing are popular at pretty coastal towns from Wallabi Point to Crowdy Head. Don't miss the beautiful beach at Saltwater or the Crowdy Head Lighthouse which is great for whale-watching (in season).
Nearby towns worth visiting include Cundletown, Tinonee, Hannam Vale, Wingham, Harrington, Old Bar, Manning Point and Halliday's Point.
