Maitland Gaol in the Hunter has a vibrant history spanning more than 150 years. After housing some of Australia's most hardened and notorious criminals, Maitland Gaol closed in 1998. The cell doors have now been swung open, with visitors invited to serve a small amount of time learning about the facility, its past prisoners and daring escapes. Maitland Gaol offers visitors the opportunity to interpret this unique attraction by indulging in a world-class, self-guided audio tour or take a themed- guided tour or torchlight tour by night. Only the brave can battle a group sleepover night. Group and specialty tours by arrangement only. Pre-booked Evening Tours operate.

To the Singleton Community the Sundial represents its bicentennial celebrations; it was the major feature of the Bicentennial Riverside Park Project. The sundial formed a gateway to the Hunter River, picnic areas and recreational and sporting facilities also developed in the 1988 bicentennial project. Construction of the Sundial was financed by Lemington Coal Mine, a State Bicentennial Grant and generous contributions from mining, industry and community groups within and around Singleton. Its stands as a visible link between the old and the new - an ancient method of time telling set in the midst of the new development in Singleton. The idea of the Sundial was first projected in 1982 by the Singleton Greening Australia Committee as an entrance way to the town's proposed 1988 bicentennial project. Friday March 20 1987 saw the completion and official handing over of the Sundial to the people of Singleton and the presentation of a certificate of recognition for the Sundial being the largest in the world from the Guinness Book of Records. Monolithic Sundial weighing 30 tonnes, set near the Hunter River, is the gateway to the largest sporting area in the region.
