This directory has been compiled to provide information about activities and groups that may be of interest to those living in the Tilligerry Peninsula. The majority of groups listed are located within the Peninsula; where there was nothing similar available locally, groups located in other areas of Port Stephens have been listed also (eg Toastmasters, Croquet, Bird Watching).
Groups and Activities have been listed in five sections to make it easier to find a particular activity of interest, however some groups provide activities that could cover several different sections.
