Vacy Arts Centre

Nestled in the beautiful village of Vacy, this quaint little shop ( in the past was their local butcher so has a lot of history) has a collection of beautiful arts and crafts including knitted, crochet and many more. All items on display are crafted by local people who are artists in their chosen work. There are some very beautiful pieces.

Vacy Bridge over Paterson River

Completed in 1898, the Vacy bridge is an early example of an Allan type timber truss road bridge, and in 1998 was in good condition.

As a timber truss road bridge, it has many associational links with important historical events, trends, and people, including the expansion of the road network and economic activity throughout NSW, and Percy Allan, the designer of this type of truss.

Allan trusses were third in the five-stage design evolution of NSW timber truss bridges, and were a major improvement over the McDonald trusses which preceded them. Allan trusses were 20 per cent cheaper to build than Mc Donald trusses, could carry 50 per cent more load, and were easier to maintain.

The Vacy bridge is located in the Hunter region, which has 15 historic bridges each constructed before 1905, and it gains heritage significance from its proximity to the high concentration of other historic bridges in the area.

Skydive Maitland

You're sitting at the door of the aircraft 14,000 feet above the earth, legs dangling over the edge, wind in your face and butterflies of excitement in your stomach. You look back at your mates and think to yourself "This is AWESOME" .

You're about to experience one of the most exhilarating moments of your life with Skydive Maitland! The pure adrenalin rush as you freefall from 14,000 feet reaching terminal velocity - speeds in excess of 200 kilometres per hour. The most powerful feeling of flying is like no other!

After experiencing the longest freefall available in Australia your parachute opens and it all goes quiet. You're absorbed by the beauty of the Hunter Valley and Newcastle Coastline that surrounds you. Guided by you, your Tandem Master pulls out some radical 360 turns or perhaps you've asked him for a gentler parachute ride back to earth!
