Maitland 3 October 2014

Maitland was another town that we hadn’t spent much time in, however Peter remembered the district flooding from his SES days. Like many country towns, a new shopping centre had been built out of town and the old CBD is pretty desolate, however it is in a scenic spot right next to the river and the council is spending a lot of money to revitalise the district. We camped on the edge of a large common next to the hospital and enjoyed a peaceful night’s sleep. In the morning we were lucky enough to see a special sight – 19 old biplanes flying in formation to Newcastle.
