Morisset

Few towns in New South Wales have a history as closely tied to psychiatric care as Morisset. Set on Lake Macquarie’s western shore, it lies between the lake and the foothills of the Watagan Mountains, close to the Central Coast and Hunter regions. Morisset developed with the Main Northern railway, the line connecting Sydney, Newcastle and northern New South Wales. Morisset Hospital, established in 1897 as a psychiatric institution, remains an important part of the town’s story, while the lakeshore and surrounding bushland shape its setting.
