Historic walk near Wallis Creek thanks to Friends of Grossmann

From the Maitland Mercury report:
Maitland’s history-drenched High Street will become the subject of a walking tour later this month thanks to the Friends of Grossmann House.

 

On Tuesday, May 16 at 3.30pm, local historian Wayne Campbell will lead a group down the road that led from the penal colony and growing city of Newcastle to the continent’s interior.
Originally impassable by road because of Wallis Creek, the Victoria Bridge was built a little upstream from the existing bridge in 1827 to allow road transport into the village of West Maitland.
