Fingal, Tasmania, Australia

Fingal was founded in 1827 as a convict station and is approx. 232m above sea level, with a population of 366 people...so another small town along the highway to the East Coast of the Island.

By the time we reach Fingal on Easter Saturday is was raining...Fingal is noted these days for The World Coal Shovelling Championship.

There is coal in the area and I presume that it's mined, as I haven't heard anything to the contrary. A Company applied to open a new mine but there were people protesting regarding that.  It was peaceful and I don't recall it being on the news.

Below is the Post Office just an office in the front of a house.  I expect the 'first' post office is gone.

St. Peter's Catholic Church.

The back of the church - needless to say I took these from the vehicle as I didn't wish to get wet.

This building houses a small food store on the main highway.
