Manilla, Administrative division in Tamworth Regional Council, Australia
Manilla sits at the meeting point of the Namoi and Manilla Rivers, 45 kilometers northwest of Tamworth in New South Wales.
The township emerged in 1853 when George Veness established a store and wine shop at the junction of two rivers, marking the beginning of local settlement.
The name originates from the Gamilaraay word 'Maneela', reflecting the Indigenous heritage of this location where rivers converge.
The area contains Split Rock Dam on the Manilla River and Lake Keepit on the Namoi River, providing water resources for the region.
The region near Manilla includes the Bundarra-Barraba zone, which serves as a conservation area for regent honeyeaters.
