4. East Maitland Railway Station

Quiet railway station with regular services to Newcastle and Maitland. Formerly a junction for the Morpeth line, which is still partly visible. Architecture is old NSW government railways (from a long by-gone era). Station is very useful to local residents. Visitors wanting a pub or meat pie, walk a few minutes south to Melbourne or Lawes Streets.

The Hunter looks glorious from all angles but to see the Morpeth Bridge stretch the width of it is amazing. While the best vantage point is probably from the water, the view from Illalaung Park is lovely too. I can recommend packing a picnic or picking up a bite from one of the local eateries, and stoping to enjoy the view. Kayakers, easy access to the water is at the nearby Queens Wharf. Morpeth really does have a lot to offer and the bridge is a highlight for so many.
