Historic Morpeth Cruise Morpeth, situated on the banks of the Hunter River, was once the gateway to inland Australia and one of the busiest trade ports in NSW. Today you can re-live the historic voyage from Newcastle to Morpeth in modern day style and comfort with NOVA Cruises. Upon arrival wander down cobbled streets to find colonial sandstone buildings occupied by modern and inviting cafes, pubs, galleries, museums, boutiques, antique shops and local businesses.
