Campbell Town is on the midlands highway and all traffic going south passes through the town.
Roadworks are being done before the town for many kms at 60 km sometimes 40km and it's a pain in the neck, yes, I know roads have to be redone and remade but still.
Campbell Town is a rual town and about 68km from home, a lovely drive normally through farmland.
A of photo a Church within the town, (photo taken in late autumn) and one of the town clock, my very first photo of it.
The town has much to offer for the traveller, coffee shops, service stations, clean public loos, supermarket, antique shop and of course a Hotel.
The Foxhunters Return was built Circa 1833 and was designed by an Irishman and was a coaching Inn back in the day and now a accommodation place.
We visited Campbell Town a few days ago so there are more photos in the future of this place.
Interesting place.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very nice town Anne, these photos don't do it justice.
DeleteWhat a nice place to spend time in.
ReplyDeleteIt is Bill, there is a villiage green, couldn't get parked there though.
DeleteSuch a beautiful town!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice more so further into the town.
DeleteA quintessential country town. I am glad to learn that they still survive.
ReplyDeleteWhilst the highway goes through the town it does well EC.
DeleteRoad works are needed and a cause of frustration, these photos are nice as usual
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo-Anne, lost of frustration for some but I'm ok with it because we will or should have a better road when finished.
DeleteThe church looks like a lone wolf in the wilderness. The architecture is unique too.
ReplyDeleteThat church does stand alone, there is a church next to it but a certainly not too close that now is a home, this has been happening a lot over the last several years.
DeleteMaybe it is the angle, but the town hall doesn't look very town hall like. It is a nice town and a great stopping off point for a break.
ReplyDeleteIt is the angle, couldn't take it from the other side of the road, too many cars going by plus there is an interesting there also, not safe etc. It is a good place to stop for a break especially those people coming from Burnie area.
DeleteIt's always great to travel parts of our wonderful country with you! Thanks for take us/me along! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Lee. For many years I ony posted the States and Territories of Australia and not Tasmania because I lived here :)
DeleteWhat a nice town to spend your time in.
ReplyDeleteRoad work is always annoying.
Greetings Irma
Yes roadworks are a nuiscane but have to be done Irma.
DeleteNot such a small, rural town after all :) The decision to build an impressive, modern, Deco townhall must have cost a fortune.
ReplyDeleteIt would have cost a lot of money when it was built and the building looks better from the front.
DeleteNice and interesting, sure deserves more visits.
ReplyDeleteHappy week.
Best regards.
Certainly does, but that's the way to Hobart down south Jose.
DeleteRoadwork never seems to end!
ReplyDeleteNo they don't end, when finished they will be doing another area of the same road as it gets a lot of traffic including trucks.
DeleteBelas fotografias.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

Thank you.
DeleteRoad work is always inconvenient but has to be done.. hope it finishes soon though.
ReplyDeleteWe hope it's finished before Christmas but probably not.
DeleteUna vez que las obras hayan finalizado, estarás contenta de que la hayan hecho.
ReplyDeleteSon muy bonitas las fotografías que has hecho.
Que tengas una buena semana.
It will be a big improvement when all finished..thank you
DeleteA beautiful rural town with wonderful buildings.
ReplyDeleteHas this town a scottish heritage? The Campbell are a famous ancient Clan.
Lovely there. The name I expect is a Scottish name as Campbell Town was named by Governor Lachlan Macquarie the family name of his second wife, Elizabeth Campbell who was born in Scotland, they both were. There are buildings, streets, rivers in Tasmania and other places within Australia named after him and his wife. Governor Macquarie was the Govenor of New South Wales.
DeleteIt looks a nice place to spend time in, I enjoyed your photographs.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you Jan.
DeleteSuch a charming town!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Margaret.
Hugs and blessings
Thank you Veronica.
DeleteYou share very interesting places. Thanks Margaret :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise.
DeleteDarn roadwork never seems to end!
ReplyDeleteI love historical places...
Happy week!
hugs
Donna
Thank Donna. Roadworks can be a pain.
DeleteRoadworks annoy a lot no doubt my friend
ReplyDeleteYour shots are spectacular wow.
This looks like a lovely town
Thanks Baili. Need patience with roadworks.
DeleteIt is hard for me to imagine a town being established in 1833. I know there are earlier establishments, especially overseas but here in the U.S. the 1880's and 1890's are early!
ReplyDeleteOh really. You know I never really thought about that time of establishment of a town. I know and recall most towns in greater Australia were established after Tasmania, Australia. Sydney in New South Wales was earlier of cause.
DeleteI like the clock tower with the modern style numbers.
ReplyDeleteYes the clock tower is very different from most that I've come across John.
DeletePrecioso el reportaje Margaret, me encantó las torre del reloj y la iglesia. Un abrazo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa.
DeleteLove the photo of the church framed by the trees. Looks like some historical buildings there.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few historical buildings Diane as Campbell Town was settled early in our history so therefore convicts built many places within the area.
