Hunter Valley Steamfest April 18-19

[stubbsy]

The annual Hunter Valley Steamfest is on again from April 18-19 centred around Maitland (30 mins from Newcastle). I plan on attending on the Saturday. Is anyone else interested in a mini photo-meet that day?

There will be steam trains as well as displays of steam farm and road equipment plus various other activities as outlined on the Steamfest site.

See my SmugMug site for some photos from previous steamfests

Pity I am going to miss this one - it's been one of the yearly highlights for me over recent years.

To anyone considering going, this really is a great weekend. It brings back an era when there was steam rising from everywhere you look. The sights, sounds, and smell of a time long past

Seriously, it's a long couple of days (well only as long as you decide to make it), but well worth it - try to get on one of the trains if you can

Hi Peter,

I'd love to - but travelling from CBR is long .
Wish you dudes and dudettes have a great time there.

Cheers,

Peter,

I should be good for this one, thanks for the reminder. I'll likely try to get there early.

Cheers,

André
