Walka Water Works
A distinctive and historic venue in Maitland, NSW
Walka Water Works, as well as being a popular picnic and recreation area in the Maitland district, is also steeped in history that gives it a special place in the Lower Hunter’s heritage.
The complex features its pumphouse with striking chimney and ornate brickwork and is one of the largest and most intact 19th Century industrial complexes in the Hunter Valley. The large lake area with over 140 species of birdlife and walking trails surround the lake. Picnic and barbeque facilities are available and there is a children’s playground area at the old pumping station built in 1887. The area is also available for outdoor weddings and functions.
Walka Water Works – Feature Weddings
We met Josh and Emma at the beginning of 2019 with dreams of a September 2020 wedding. As with many couples in 2020, they had to make the difficult decision to postpone their special day, eventually settling on a November Saturday in 2021. And when the wedding day did finally roll around, Josh and Emma’s rustic boho wedding dreams came true.
Brendon & Josie Simpson are the perfect example of a gorgeous young couple who embraced the weather and refused to let rainy conditions ruin their wedding day. We had been working with the couple to create their dream wedding since December 2019 and unfortunately our crystal ball couldn’t have predicted the weather that far in advance.
