Smithtown is a small town sitting in a bend on the MacLeay River as you drive between Kempsey and South West Rocks in NSW. We were a little surprised to see a large Nestle factory on the river which seems to employ a large number of locals – car park full. This Nestlé factory has been operating since 1921 and MILO was first produced here after its invention in 1934. This product we take for granted is now sold in Asia, South America and Africa.
There is a very large park near factory with some majestic old trees – beautiful shade and grassed area with a children’s playground and river frontage. There does not seem to be much else in town except a pub on the river bank next to a boat ramp, and Smithtown store and Post Office.
