A short time in Campbell Town taking photos of the river and bridge as we journey our way down to Huonville, down south of the Island. The Foxhunters Return in photo below is a place to stay at Campbell Town and has much history. It's believed that convicts stayed underneath the Inn back in the day whilst they built the Red Bridge. There are more photos of the Inn and a bit more history [ here ]
Looks like a very nice place and rather peaceful. We have lots of Campbell's over here, I wonder if there are any connections.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely place Bill, always clean and tidy with friendly people. I’m sure there would be a connection to Ireland with the name..
DeleteBeautiful landscapes. It's really nice to see green views after all snow we have now.
ReplyDeleteI suppose you forget what grass looks like with all that snow :)
DeleteThe willow trees along the side of the river look lovely, looking forward to the time when our leaves reappear again.
ReplyDeleteThere is just something wonderful about willow trees by a river, they just seem to go together.
DeleteWon’t be long and your spring will arrive...
The red bridge is impressive! I feel sad, however, about the convicts that worked hard to get it done.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad in a way because many of the convicts were sent out to Australia for stealing a piece of bread, a piece of clothing, a hanky or similar, but still it’s stealing.
DeleteThe men who built the bridge certainly build it well.
Very nice photos
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo_Anne.
DeleteYou continue to remind me of the beauty and history of your state.
ReplyDelete:) it is a lovely place..
DeleteGreat images!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Catarina.
DeleteA lovely old bridge
ReplyDeleteIt’s wonderful Diane and you never see anyone working on or under the bridge, but guess they do from time to time.
DeleteThis looks like it is a lovely area...thanks, once again, for introducing me to it. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Lee. It is lovely.
DeleteI really love that bridge!
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice one.
DeleteNice photos, the first, that riverbank with the willows is very good, the bridge reminds me of the bridges of Roman origin that we keep around here still, centuries have passed and they are maintained very well.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
Best regards.
Thanks.
DeleteThe river to flood once but hasn't flooded for a long time.
It's great to see all that wonderful old brickwork. The convicts had a terrible life, however, and I have no doubt a lot of blood was spilled in its construction.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sure a lot of blood sweat and tears were shed during the building of the bridge.
DeleteIt's great to see that the bridge is still used as a Highway.
Muy lindas las fotografías e interesante la historia de Australia. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa :)
DeleteNossa Senhora, Mãe da divina Graça rogai por nós e por um mundo melhor.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure is she is praying as many of us are for the people in this troubled world of today.
DeleteMe encantan los puentes. Me gusta el lugar.
ReplyDeleteBuen fin de semana Margaret. Cuídate.
Un abrazo.
Pleased you like that bridge,. we don't have many like it left.
DeleteHello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see these nice places. Fantastic to see shot 5 with that beautiful facade of the house.
And what a nice caravan do you have.
Greetings, Marco
Thanks Marco - there is a bookshop underneath that house/Inn.
DeleteI love the bridge and its reflection.

DeleteHappy 20BLK Jack - Such Peaceful Photos Here - I Am Playing Catch Up Today - Sending You Some Positive Vibes - Be Well
ReplyDeleteCheers
Thank...same to you with positiveness.
DeleteThe brickwork on those bridges was beautiful to see, Margaret, and obviously well done to have lasted for many years. Your home on wheels was also nice to see and happy continued travels to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Beatrice. The caravan is comfortable for awhile but wouldn't like to live in one for a year - much prefer home once in awhile, a house is so much better :)
DeleteAlso, I followed the provided link to read about the converted space in the hotel. It was quite an interesting story and also nice to read about its present use.
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting reading about the Inn/Hotel.
Deletesuch a peaceful and lovely town
ReplyDeleteAustralia seems to have so many like this
i have seen few dramas from Australia and i am fascinated by the landscapes and serenity they have :)
