There used to be a punt, and then a ferry to carry people from one side of the Manning River to the other. I will try to get a similar perspective with a photo from Andrews Reserve, on the Taree West side of Manning River.
The Wikipedia (

gives a good description of Tinonee.
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, and shows various aquatic creatures. It was sculpted by the esteemed Koori elder, Pr Russell Saunders, OAM.
