G’day GJ,
Looks like a quaint little town.... as far as railway corridor hunting goes, my advice is be prepared to swing over plenty of iron junk targets, as those old platforms are full of it. By the same token they can produce the odd good coin or token if you’re patient and can put up with all the trash.
Personally I just rely on Google Earth for locating suitable common areas around these sites.
Having looked at your spot it looks pretty well fenced and gated, apart from what looks like some public land by the river.
This appears to be a small spur line from East Maitland ending at Morpeth. There is the Old East Maitland railway station that looks to have plenty of detectable ground adjacent..... that would be my focus if I had a choice. Also any old sporting ovals and parks.
Cheers and good luck.
