KNOWLEDGE OF Taree
Nearby towns include historic Wingham, Tinonee, and the beachside town of Old Bar.
A local tourist attraction is a building called "The World's Largest Oyster" also called "The Big Oyster". Big Things are a common form of tourist attraction in Australia. Like the Big Merino and Big Banana the 'Oyster' is an artifact based on local produce; the Manning River produces some 3 and a half million oysters a year [4]. The Big Oyster was an unsuccessful business venture, known to the locals as a 'Big Mistake', and is now home to a motor dealership.
The Manning Entertainment Centre was built in the 1980’s at great cost to the council as the cultural centre of the district. Although it seats 500 people it is too small to attract large acts. An example is that the orchestra pit is not large enough to accommodate a full symphony orchestra. This does not prevent a great variety of quality acts, including the District Eisteddfod and local amateur dramatic societies from providing great cultural outings for the local community.
Located next to the Entertainment Centre and the Visitor Information Centre at the northern entrance to Taree if the Manning Aquatic and Leisure Centre. This facility includes a 25 meter outside pool and a 50 meter indoor pool and soon after the time of opening had the second most expensive pool entrance fee in Australia, the most expensive being a pool in Perth, Western Australia. The Aquatic Centre was built in the late 1990’s – early 2000’s to replace the Taree Pool, which could no longer be used for swimming. Located next to the Manning River in the centre of town, the Taree Pool had fallen into disrepair and started leaking into the river. It is now home to the local Navy Cadets Corp.
The Manning Regional Art Gallery is located in a cottage style building next to Taree Public School. The art gallery hosts a changing selection of works by local artists and visiting exhibitions.
