As evident by this week's Our History, Our Memories photo gallery, all the fads and fashion trends of the 1970s wasn't lost on Taree folk. The Manning River Times photographer was regularly tasked to attend social functions and this stunning collection of images is a snapshot of the time.

Visit our website at 6pm every Wednesday to view the latest gallery in the series.
