The 2022 Hunter Valley Steamfest has been cancelled due to recent major flooding.
The railway network and city infrastructure across Maitland have suffered damage, making the event now impossible to go ahead.
It's the third year in a row the event's been cancelled, because of COVID-19 restrictions.
This year's event was already postponed in March, due to wet weather.
Steamfest is expected to resume next year on 22 and 23 April 2023.
