Manilla

Manilla has basic shopping facilities including a small IGA supermarket. The local RSL and Bowls Club is an easy 700 metre walk, where you can grab a bite to eat at the Lotus Flower Restaurant, a Chinese Australian restaurant. We also recommend visiting the Big Fish for an amazing thick shake.

Located on Fossickers Way, 45 km north-west of Tamworth, Manilla is famous for its fishing and paragliding opportunities.

Manilla is a peaceful 30-minute drive from Tamworth, through the small township of Attunga. Based on the town’s doorstep is the Attunga State Forest – 874 hectares of bush surrounds with picnic spots and walking trails. This is a great way to spend the day or to stop in on your way to Tamworth.

Paragliding

The town is home to one of Australia’s premier X-C soaring sites and is one of the best sky sport sites in the world for hang-gliding, paragliding and soaring – if you’re visiting in February and March, you will often see hang-gliders and paragliders competing in World Championship competitions. If you head up onto Mt Borah during the competitions, you can watch the gliders competing.

Interested in learning how to hang-glide or paraglide? The flying school in the Manilla District can offer tandem flights for adventurous tourists and locals.

Mount Borah is only a 27 minute drive (18 km) from your Manilla holiday rental.

Nature

If nature is your cup of tea, head out for a walk along the Manilla, Namoi and MacDonald Rivers and keep an eye out for the elusive platypus, which can often be seen near the river banks.

Warrabah National Park is also a bush walker’s paradise. This inland river park offers bush walking tracks. While the rapids in the river provide an enjoyable challenge for experienced canoeists. For the photographer, the Namoi River provides beautiful scenery. The huge granite boulders sitting high above the valley’s pools offer great photo opportunities.

Fishing

There are some great fishing destinations in and around Manilla. The Manilla and Namoi Rivers are a great place to catch Murray Cod, while Split Rock Reservoir and Lake Keepit are well stocked and regularly replenished with Golden and Silver Perch.

There are some lovely towns and sights to visit around the Manilla area including Tamworth, Barraba, Lake Keepit and Split Rock Dam.
