The Big Oyster — Attraction in Taree

First time poster, long time reader. I've heard rumblings of the patented "Taree Osyter" over the years. BOY oh BOY was this an experience. 8 hours of public holiday traffic and 3 hours of queue's had my muscles aching and spirit yearning. After fighting through the crowds for a clear view of the oyster, i was finally granted a sight to behold. No longer had i drawn breath, than an immediate sense of enlightenment came over me. My body flowed with a warmth only to be compared to looking over your first born child. Back pain, tight hamstrings, feelings of self doubt and inadequacy all immediently quenched. The hoardes behind me attempted to heave me aside for their chance to see, yet a higher power was keeping them at bay. As I stood head and shoulders above the crowd, slowly rising upwards, the people started to chant my name and kneel behind me. "He has returned! one of them proclaimed".

Hopefully this is a good start to begin the odyssey of the Taree Oyster. Get in touch if you have also been chosen to continue this "shellebration", and let us bring his...

As entered the premises, lightning struck the holy oyster, and a deep voice boomed "BEWARE THE FALSE PROPHET LIAM DOHERTY". I was shaken to my very core. I like many others believed that the message that the false prophet left us was to lead us to the holy place. This my friends is not the case. I do not know what entity reached out to me, but I know it was omnipotent and omnipresent. "BEWARE THE FALSE PROPHET" it said to me, and I know know my mission in life. It is to undo the damage that this evil shepherd Liam Doherty has done to our society, and to lead the world to a utopia

it's a giant oyster on top of a Kia showroom, it would be cool if they let you go up there or they made it some sort of viewing area but i was there on a sunday so the place was closed. i spent more time checking out the new cars in the lot than looking up at the oyster. i think there's more better things to look at in town or down near the river. it seems to be a missed opportunity for a decent local attraction that could make the town a bit of money like a seafood shop, small restaurant, cafe or perhaps they could just put the visitor information...
