"Richmond Reflections" HDR

View On Black And View Large.

 

It is very hard to get pictures of Australia's oldest Bridge without tourists :)

 

 

Richmond is a picture-perfect town that tells the story of an early Australian colonial village - hand-made brick and mellow stone on the banks of the Coal River.

 

What’s special about Richmond?

 

* Home to Australia’s oldest bridge.

* More than 50 19th-century Georgian buildings, many now offering high-quality accommodation.

 

Walk across Australia’s oldest bridge, built by convict labour between 1823 and 1825. Stand in the cell of the Richmond Gaol (1825), Australia’s oldest jail, for an eerie insight into the hardships of early Van Diemen's Land convict life. Or wander in the cemetery of Australia's oldest remaining Catholic Church, St Johns, built in 1836. Richmond is a perfect place to learn about Tasmania's rich heritage
