The far bank pictured used to be a veggie farm.The farmer was a good friend of ours. Used to have a contract with Smiths chips. When I wanted to rid myself from stress of work I would go and help harvest spuds,caulies a or cabbages. Sadly both he and his wife died before we left Maitland 30 years ago.Having our morning coffee, overlooking the Hunter River at Maitland. The river level dropped 2 metres just last night, and 5 metres the day before. You can see how high it got by the marks on the far bank. No wonder the locals were nervous.
