Travel Tips for Taree
Servicing the surrounding rural industry.
by Jerelis
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 tourists and travellers who pass through the town. It is located 16 km 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.

Wingham Brush Nature Reserve - Hiking / Fig Trees!
by Jerelis
Wingham Brush Nature Reserve is a subtropical floodplain rainforest; typical of the lowland rainforest that once covered much of the Manning River floodplain.
During our hike we saw the outstanding feature of Wingham Brush Nature Reserve. This feature is the huge Moreton Bay Figs, which are hundreds of years old. It is hard to believe that each of the rainforest giants with their massive buttress roots began life as tiny seed deposited in the fork of a host tree by roosting bird or bat. They grew year by year, to the ground, eventually taking over their host to become some of New South Wales' largest remaining fig trees.
Wingham Brush Nature Reserve - Hiking / Turkey!
by Jerelis
At the back of the Nature Reserve we saw and heard some significant animals; the Brush turkeys. They nest in large mounds fashioned from leaf litter and forest debris. Brush turkeys are generally wary of humans. However, they can become very tame around picnic grounds and homes, particularly if they are fed. Feeding brush turkeys is not recommended.
An Aboriginal corroboree ground is located within the Reserve and the remains of two cedar sawpits can still be seen in the Northern section of the Brush.
