Travelling to Paterson From Singleton
Paterson is not far from where we live in Singleton in the NSW Hunter Valley, so we took a leisurely drive there via Gresford when we had a free morning. On the way we stopped at Gresford for a coffee at the Crossroads Café which is a nice quiet peaceful location.
Paterson
When we reached Paterson we had a look at the Railway bridge over the Paterson River from Wharf Park. The park is next to an old church and opposite the Court House Museum and a great place to start exploring the town. The court house is a nice old building well maintained presentable with some great photo opportunities. The town has some old buildings that are interesting to have a look at, so wander around the Main Street and have a look. We walked around St Paul’s Anglican Church and the cemetery out the back to view the graves some of which are very old and from the 1800s. Unfortunately many are in a state of disrepair with fallen headstones and damaged tiles and brickwork. This town has a nice country vibe about it, very relaxed with friendly locals. well worth the visit.
Driving Home
The drive home through the rural countryside was relaxing, but the countryside looked very brown because of the current drought.
