Smithton is a pretty town although small and fairly quiet. The Bridge Hotel/Motel where we stayed was well-modernised in recent years, and facilities and fittings were good quality.
We ate at the Hotel on our first night, and the food is good pub-grub style, no surprises.
We tried a couple of cafés for our morning coffee, and Hugh's was the best, although a little too much like a partially converted shop. There was an art display in Hugh's - Smithton's Archibald Prize - of portrait paintings and mixed media, and we were able to cast a 'people's vote' for our favourite picture. This made up for the industrial nature of the café and the friendliness of the young lady on the counter made our visit a pleasure.
