Taree is a city on the Mid North Coast, New South Wales, Australia. Taree and nearby Cundletown were settled in 1831 by William Wynter. Since then Taree has grown to a population of 20,000 people and is the centre of a significant agricultural district. It is about 15 km from the sea coast, and about 300 km north of Sydney. Taree can be reached by train via the North Coast Railway, and by the Pacific Highway. 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. The Big Oyster was an unsuccessful business venture, known to the locals as a 'Big Mistake', and is now home to a motor dealership. |
