There used to be a punt, and then a ferry to carry people from one side of the Manning River to the other, at Taree West. During World War Two the Martin Bridge into Taree was built to enable military traffic easier flow north, and the punt was subsequently removed. The two sides where the punt used to land now have Boat Ramps.
The Wikipedia link (

More recently (since 2011) there has been a 4m high wooden totem sculpture placed in the Tinonee Triangle. This depicts from a Koori (indigenous) perspective the origin of the Village's name ('Deep Water Shark'), and shows various aquatic creatures. It was sculpted by the esteemed Koori elder, Pr Russell Saunders, OAM.
