The Art of Food

The far north-west of Tasmania means rich dairying country, towering rainforest, majestic rivers and the island's best surfing beach. The Bridge is on the banks of the Duck River (lovely views) but only a step from the centre of Smithton. You'll have the comfort and convenience you need to put all your energy into enjoying the wild and the wonderful. You can cruise the Arthur River, wonder at ancient Aboriginal sites at Mount Cameron West, get a feel for colonial history at Highfield House, drink in the earth's freshest air at Woolnorth. Surfers must catch the waves at Marrawah. Don't forget to visit the fascinating Dismal Swamp after which you can return for a friendly meal at the Bridge Hotel to replenish your energy and prepare you for another great day.
