Hinton from Brandy Hill, taken after the 2007 Hunter region and Central Coast storms floodwaters had subsided

Due to the close proximity of the Hunter and Paterson rivers and the low elevation of surrounding ground the town is often isolated for a number of days during periods of exceptionally high rainfall. Most recently this happened in March 2000 and June 2007.
