Overview

Smoko sits in north‑east Victoria within the Alpine Shire, about 337 km (209 mi) from Melbourne. The locality’s quirky name dates to the 1850s, when gold‑seekers paused here for a smoke and a rest on their way to and from the goldfields. With a 2016 census population of just 46 residents, Smoko offers a tranquil, close‑knit rural lifestyle framed by the surrounding alpine countryside.

Although small, Smoko is accessible by the regional road network that links it to the broader Alpine Shire and to Melbourne’s capital hub. The housing stock reflects the modest size of the community, consisting of a limited number of dwellings that provide a simple, country‑living option for those drawn to the area’s historic charm and peaceful setting.
