Morpeth, situated on the banks of the Hunter River, was once the gateway to inland Australia and one of the busiest trade ports in NSW. Today you can re-live the historic paddle steam route with the modern day comforts of air conditioning and a licensed bar. Starting in Newcastle Harbour, heading upstream on the Hunter River, the Hexham bridge is lifted for our passage before continuing to Morpeth. Spend 1-1.5 hrs in Morpeth's authentic historic ambiance before heading home. Whilst in Morpeth, shop and grab a bite to eat before reboarding for your journey home.
