Lovedale is a locality in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales.[2][3] It is two hours from Sydney, 30 minutes from Newcastle, and is connected to the Hunter Expressway.[4] The name is believed to be a combination of one of the early European families, the Loves, with the memories of the hills and dales of Yorkshire.[5] At the 2016 census, it had a population of 485.[1]
