New sign at the Canberra Cafe, Manilla

The Canberra Cafe is owned by Paul Calokerinos and family.

Paul has been a cafe proprietor for more than half a century.

He purchased the Canberra Cafe from the late Jack Smiles, whose name features prominently on the sign.

Since mid 2012 Paul and family have renovated the cafe - in an endeavour to re-capture the 'original look'.

The renovated cafe has been dedicated to the memory of the late Jack Smiles.
