These photos were collected by photographer and businessman, Alan Small over many years and are now are mounted for display at Rotary Park.
The montage was printed by Jeff Chambers of Barrier Signs as his contribution to recording some of the history of Taree. The Rotary Club of Taree much appreciated his support.
There are photographs of cream boats and steamers on the river as well as of the bullock teams that carted logs to local timber mills. There are photos of Taree’s main street 100 years ago featuring many buildings such as Connells with its unique colonnade, and many other historical buildings and events.
This montage is well worth a visit to Rotary Park, situated north of Taree near the Manning Entertainment Centre and Manning Aquatic Leisure Centre.
Rotary Park was constructed in 1980 by the Rotary Club of Taree on land provided by the Taree City Council and has been added to and maintained over the years by Rotary.
