Located in the historical village of Morpeth in the Lower Hunter Valley, Morpeth Gallery has an excellent selection of fine traditional Australian landscape & wildlife art by internationally and nationally acclaimed artists. The gallery specialises in investment art with pieces which appreciate over time. The gallery opened in 1991 as a part of the Campbell's Store Craft Centre complex.

Morpeth has a number of very interesting places to visit and wander through both on the Main Street and in the little laneways. This gallery is one of those side excursions that will reward your time with a number of experiences. There is something for just about everyone including artworks, toys and local foods. I was impressed with the ginger beer tastings and left with a number of bottles.

An email from 2008... Last week we visited Morpeth. Suddenly the sound of pounding hoofs filled the air and like a vision from the past a majestic Clydesdale mare with her wagon trotted by and stoped. Soon she was surrounded. “ Admiration can’t buy her food , hop on V take you for a ride” proclaimed the driver. Like stepping back in time we climbed on board. The big authentic looking carriage pulled by this powerful and loyal horse rumpled passed century old buildings. The pounding of her enormous hoofs the smell and snorting compelled us to reflect on our ancestors and the horse that build this Nation. Singing a song to the beat of the clip clop while holding the reins was the highlight for the children. For us Morpeth is simply the town where Juliet lives....Now 3 years later 15000 people who came for a ride agree, no other Town near Sydney offers such variety of unique stores ,restaurants ,historic buildings natural beauty and a Horse Carriage. Juliet and I are proud to contribute to the charm of Morpeth. Hop on and keep us on the job keep Morpeth look the part. Hay !

The evidence: many many empty schooner glasses, two very merry old old school friends and their long suffering wives. The witnesses: the master Brewer and the assistant brewer who schooled the men in the finer points of the beers craft and the drinkers dilemmas. The dilemma: which beer to drink next. The verdict: truly excellent beer, delicious food accompanying it and delightful company in the pub and at the tables.

Who doesn't like checking out lollies from your childhood? There were every time of flavour you could imagine, both Aussie favourites as well as European and American too. Admittedly not cheap but it's worth paying a little extra to take a trip down memory lane!

Reviewed By lisacameron - Maitland, Australia
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.
