Battlezone Playlive Battlezone PlayLive presents the Hunter's newest adventure sport, Laser Skirmish! Laser Skirmish is a team oriented combat simulation game that can be played indoors, outdoors, in daylight or at night. It is similar to paintball, yet since there are no projectiles, there are no bruises. Great for all ages! Laser Skirmish is like a live computer game! You get to sneak through the bush and take out the enemy using red dot scopes, just like on the Xbox or PS2, but this is reality, not 3D graphics. This is about as realistic as it gets outside the military! You get rolling battles played out over huge battlefields, with real team-mates...and enemies. Laser Skirmish is a tactical game. Communication and teamwork are critical in achieving your mission objectives. Rather than being in close contact with your enemy from the outset (as in paintball), you often start a considerable distance apart, usually out of visual range. This means you need to find your opposition before you can engag

Grossmann House - National Trust Property Grossmann House, Maitland is one of two mirror image, Victorian Regency properties, built side by side on the same lot in 1870-71 for the prosperous business partners, Isaac Beckett and Samuel Owen. The buildings are thought to have been designed by local architect, William White.

Maitland at that time was Australia’s largest inland town, and the commercial heart of the prosperous Hunter Region. Beckett and Owen arrived from England in 1838, and quickly diversified their High Street business to become ‘General Merchants, Tailors and Woolbrokers, Wine, Spirit and Tobacco Merchants’. Between 1892 and 1963, the building housed Maitland Girls’ High School, one of the first four public high schools established in New South Wales.
