About Us: The Maitland Mercury is Australia's third oldest regional newspaper, preceded only by the GeelongAdvertiser (estab. 1840) and the Launceston Examiner (estab. 1842).
The newspaper was established in 1843 when it was called The Maitland Mercury and Hunter River General Advertiser.
The Maitland Mercury is still in circulation serving the city of Maitland and the surrounding Lower Hunter Valley as a weekly publication - its print edition circulating every Friday.
Located in the heart of the NSW Hunter Valley, Maitland is 161 kilometres from the Sydney Central Business District and less than one hour's drive from Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Central Coast.
Maitland is the fastest growing city in NSW outside metropolitan Sydney.
