What's Local

Smithtown

Boating. It’s what river folk do. And at Smithtown you’ll see all kinds of vessels entering and exiting the mighty Macleay River at the boat ramp. It’s the hub of Macleay River life.

Get out there on the water yourself, or settle back over a cold beer and bite to eat at Smithtown’s famous and awarded Riverview Hotel to watch the boats glide by.

Once a thriving centre of manufacturing and the original home to Milo, Smithtown has now become a nostalgic riverside village with historic art deco buildings dotting its main street.
