Ross is a historic town in the Midlands of Tasmania. It's by the Macquarie River, and is 78 km south of Launceston and 117 km norther of Hobart.
The town is listed on the Register of the National Estate and is noted for it's historic bridge, original sandstone building and convict history.
The bridge is not the one in my 'header'.
There are two bakery's in Ross both sell wonderful scallop pies and lovely tasty vanilla slices.
Photos from the main street, the highway passes by Ross. More photos of Ross next post.
I could just eat a vanilla slice right now.
ReplyDeleteThey are tasty and large, well worth it.
DeleteTwo bakeries. Spoilt for choice. Tasmanian sandstone always has a warm look about it.
ReplyDeleteYes two, one would wonder how they both survive in such a small town, but they do probably due to tourist.
DeleteAlways lovely sandstone colour.
Me gusta mucho la primera imagen con sus variados colores y tonalidades propias del otoño y el suelo cubierto de hojas caídas.
ReplyDeleteBesos.
The composition of the first one, I believe I nailed it as it's a better one of about 5.
DeleteIt does look good.
ReplyDeleteScallop pie is a new one for me.
Really! Though most places would have scallop pies, they are lovely with a bit of curry. Several towns sell them.
DeleteLooks like a town with lots of history. I have never heard of scallop pies. Maybe it's a local specialty.
ReplyDeleteIt must be a Tasmanian thing these scallop pies. Many places sell them in season.
DeleteMuch history at Ross and down through the Midlands.
Such awesome photos, I like a nice vanilla slice
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo-Anne.
DeleteLove vanilla slices too.
Looks like a street sweeper needed.
ReplyDeleteI'm too old to apply - ha ha.
Lovely shots of Ross.
Cheers

Maybe the locals do the cleaning up, or the council might have some equipment to clean up those leaves..
DeleteThanks.
I'm reminded of some gold rush era towns in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California.
ReplyDeleteAre you. Maybe they were built by the Irish, English and Scottish people back then.
DeleteFor me the best thing about bakeries is the delicious aromas when they are baking anything. All those buildings look so solid and strong.
ReplyDeleteLovely smell in most bakeries, fresh bread and other food smells always makes one a bit hungrier..
DeleteBeautiful Tasmanian Holiday pics, lovely autumn leaves falling.
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely to see..
Deletepretty place!
ReplyDeleteYes it is Sussi.
DeleteDear Margaret your heading image is so tranquil and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteRoss looks like a perfect place to spend wonderful autumn days :)
how sublimely fall has glorified the area !
Thank you Baili.
DeleteWhen driving through Ross normally it's not half as pretty as when there are autumn leaves.
Nice photographs and I must also say that scallop pies and vanilla slices sound rather nice!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thanks Jan. The scallop pies and vanilla slices are delicious - doesn't hurt once in awhile
