Early Manning River Settlers and Port Macquarie Trials
A reminiscence recalls Allan and Cox, early Manning River settlers, who lived forty years at Dumaresque Tech and recount land dealings once centered in Port Macquarie. They describe a trek from Manning River to Port Macquarie, early boat names like the Concord and Emma, and a sparsely populated Candletown and Taree. The piece notes weddings at Tinonee, the first white woman Startin, and the era’s rough living, ship work pay, and early naval land grants.
