We were touring northeastern Tasmania and were ready to call it a night, and thought we'd give the…read moretown of St. Marys a try. We rolled in after 9:30 on a Friday night, and as with most towns in Tasmania, the buildings were dark and there was no activity - we consistently found it difficult to find dining options in Tassie after 9:00 PM. We noticed a light on in the pub at the St. Marys, and crossed our fingers. The pub was open and we found it populated with about a half dozen people from the town. The owner of the pub explained the kitchen had been closed for the evening, but we could get some "toasties" (ham and cheese sandwiches) at the bar. While not a full meal, it was at least something, and we settled in. We chatted with the bartender (Belinda), and the conversation spread to the hotel guests and townspeople as well. We discovered Belinda and her husband had recently acquired the hotel, and rooms were available. We did take a room, which turned out to be very nice, reasonably priced, and in keeping with the historic character of the hotel. In addition to the pub area there is also a larger space for dining. Overall, we found the townspeople to be very friendly and engaging, and we spent the evening sharing stories and talking about Australian and American culture. Our all-too-brief visit here turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip.
