Wolka Waterworks

The city of Maitland is situated in the Lower Hunter region of New South Wales, Australia, near two national highways, a 2-hour drive to Sydney and 30 minutes to the Hunter Valley Vineyards, Newcastle and Port Stephens. Consists of largely rural surroundings with an approximate 60.000 inhabitants.

During my stay here I went off to the Wolka Waterworks, which formerly was the source for maitland's water supply. now its a nice museum and home to heaps of cuddle kangaroos who roam around in the early mornings and late nights when the heat is not unbearable. here ive captures a shot of one eastern grey who nearly escaped from view. the other pic is of the actual waterworks building where coal is used to power the plant which brought H2O to the city.
