Minutes from Maitland town centre, Oakhampton is a perfect example of Maitland's city and country interface together with a mixture of old and new housing areas. It is a suburb of Maitland and home of the famous Walka Water Works.
The Water Works provides a unique experience with an outstanding example of Italianate architecture and museum open daily; it has a picnic, recreational area and bird sanctuary. Visitors may take ecological educational walks or follow trails around the lake.
