Maitland In Focus Book

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads)—Congratulations to the Maitland City Heritage Group on the publication of the commemorative book, Maitland in Focus. The book has been a collaborative effort between Maitland City Heritage Group, acclaimed photographer Justin Reeders, and historian Patrick Wilson and has very much been a labour of love for all involved. I particularly thank the various local property owners and guest photographers. Without their valuable assistance, books like this are near impossible to draft and publish. The book is extremely well researched and reveals the city's rich historical and architectural landmarks in a way that will appeal to both Maitland locals and visitors alike. Maitland has a long and proud history of keeping the stories of the people and places that have helped shape this city alive. With books like this we can continue to tell these stories for generations to come. Congratulations to all involved in this magnificent publication.
