Richmond Tasmania
















While in Richmond we saw the first bridge that was built in Australia. This bridge was built by convicts so that settlements could be developed further inland. We also toured a winery that a husband and wife started 13 years ago called Puddleduck (excellent Riesling). We also just walked around and admired the beautiful scenery. We saw the oldest Catholic Church (in Australia) which had a graveyard behind it with gravestones from the 1800's. We stayed at the Richmond Arms which had stables in the back, and now today has been converted to accomodations for travelers. We stayed in a top loft which was very roomy and comfortable.(and cheap)
