A small colony of torana drivers and beer drinkers inhabit this land, which for most of the part is exceedingly boring and bears a likeness to a small underdeveloped black hole. So great is the bordem held within this harsh and unforgiving land that the main attraction seems to be watching a small patch of grass on which greyhounds chase fluffy toys attached to sticks. If one were to stay here too long they might take to numbing the mindboggoling bordem with a case of VB (a local beer that has an aftertaste quite akin to a rancid polecat). In fact the only thing credible to this town is that the cinema there has the most comfortable seats in Australia, this is a strange coinsidence considering that it is a most uncomfortable place to live.
The claim to fame of Maitland is a natural disaster, namley the 1950's flood, in which the town was nearly covered water from a nearby river when it's banks exploded. The only disaster here though is that the water went away, obviously not wanting to dent it's reputation of flooding only credible towns and causing chaos. The inhabitants of this town however are extremely proud that the water chose, out of all cities, their's to flood, and they make that point whenever possible. Stating that they are much better than Newcastle or Sydney because "they've ne'er 'ad wa'er up to th' necks 'ave they?".
Steer clear of this settlement unless you're in the mood to take out part of your brain with a large axe.
