About Tuncurry
Tuncurry is a coastal town in the Mid North Coast region, in the MidCoast Council area, about 307 km north-north-east of Sydney. It is immediately beside its twin town Forster, which is the larger of the two.
The first European settler was John Wright in 1875. The settlement was called North Shore and then North Forster before it was renamed Tuncurry, meaning “plenty of fish”, in 1891 and proclaimed a village in 1893.

When something happens
A fire, a flood, a road closed: a notice raised on this hub shows above every page in Tuncurry, and on every site linked under it, until it is cleared.
Who keeps this
OurHub set this hub up as a pilot, from public information. Nobody in Tuncurry runs it yet and it is not a council service. It is free, and it is waiting for someone local to take the keys.
