Richmond is small with about 990 people.
The town is about 25km from Hobart in the Coal River region, between the Midlands Highway and Tasman Highway.
The famous landmark is the Richmond Bridge, built in 1823 to 1825 around the time of the town's first settlement.
The bridge is just a stone's throw from the shopping center so it's a nice walk or one can go by car and park near the bridge.
The Header photo is of the Richmond Bridge.
Photos are of the bridge from one side to the other and from top one side to the other.
Está todo muy verde, es señal de que no ha faltado las lluvias.
ReplyDeleteMe gusta ese puente y las aguas azules que discurren gajo él.

I somehow think that the green grass is due to it being watered mostly likely with an underground watering system.
DeleteSchöne Bilder von der Brücke und dem Wasser.

ReplyDeleteIt truly is John, they don't build them like that today.

DeleteSuch a sturdy bridge, they don't build them like that anymore, which is a shame, this is much nicer to look at.
ReplyDeleteThey sure did build them to last back then.
DeleteWow. Packing my bags. Beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteOur spring showers are starting. (More like daily floods.) Means the end of a lot of hiking (flooded trails). Sigh. Time to get the kayak out.

Thank you Marco..
DeleteAlways like to take photos of that bridge when passing through or staying.
I remember seeing the bridge in the 1990s and it is a great bridge. I can't remember where we parked, but we did go to the local shops.
ReplyDeleteYou can park on one side of the bridge, always could or up around the corner.
DeleteMe encantan los puentes de Margaret. Siempre pienso que son como "brazos" tendidos que unen. Preciosas fotos!!
ReplyDeleteMe quedo aqui.
Un abrazo.
Thanks.
DeleteThe bridges do seems to be arms stretching out saying 'welcome', if we didn't have bridges would harder to get to the other side.
nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sussi.
