01Living in Tinonee

Tinonee sits on the banks of the Manning River, across the water from Taree.

Tinonee sits on the banks of the Manning River, across the water from Taree. The name is believed to come from the Biripi word "Tinobi". Gazetted as a village in 1854, it was once a busy river port, where timber arrived by bullock team and was loaded onto tall ships. The Manning's first newspaper and its first agricultural show both started here.

Today it is a quiet village. There is a general store on Beecher Street, a public school, St Luke's church and the Tinonee Museum, run by volunteers in an old broom factory on Manchester Street. At the 2021 Census, 1,202 people lived in the Tinonee locality, and The Bucketts Way runs through town.
