Ross, Tasmania

After Campbell Town we travelled to Ross, Tasmania on the same day.

Ross is a historic town in thee Midland of Tasmania and the Macquarie River flows through the town.
The bridge was built of sandstone by the convicts. Completed in 1836.  Ross has much history.
A small house is the 2nd photo and the Post Office which opened in 1832. 
We had lunch at Ross, Scallop Pie and Vanilla Slice - just so tasty.
