It lies 49.8 km north of Port Macquarie, NSW (from Port Macquarie, NSW: bearing 5°T), and is situated 10.9 km east-north-east of Kempsey. The land here is a patchwork of emerald pastures, fringed by stands of paperbark and eucalypt, their leaves rustling with a soft, dry whisper in the coastal breeze. Under a sky that often shifts from the pale blue of morning to the bruised purples of approaching rain, the horizon is a gentle curve, broken only by the distant, hazy outline of rolling hills. The air, especially in the early hours, carries a damp, earthy scent, mingling with the faint, briny tang of the nearby sea, a constant reminder of the river's ultimate destination. The character of Smithtown is one of quiet endurance, a place where the land dictates the rhythm of life, and the river provides both sustenance and a serene, ever-present backdrop.
The history of Smithtown is intrinsically tied to the agricultural bounty of the Macleay Valley, its founding shaped by the rich soil that has long supported dairy farming and cattle grazing. For generations, this land has been worked, its productivity a testament to the ingenuity and perseverance of its inhabitants. The local economy, while still retaining its pastoral roots, has diversified, with small businesses and a growing appreciation for the natural beauty drawing a steady trickle of visitors seeking a quieter pace. The river itself, a vital conduit for transport in earlier times, now serves as a playground for fishing and boating, its waters reflecting the changing moods of the weather. Smithtown, in its unassuming way, embodies a deep connection to its environment, a place where the past is felt in the enduring landscape and the quiet hum of daily life.
