We travelled from Lonnie to Hobart yesterday and are staying on the outskirts in an area called Cambridge (14km from the CBD). Today we travelled north about 16km to the town of Richmond. It dates from convict days and has been preserved pretty much as it was in the first half of the 1800s.
St John the Evangelist church was opened in 1836 and is the oldest Catholic church in Australia. To get to it you cross the oldest bridge still in use in Australia which was started in 1823. Tourism is the main livelihood and there are lots of galleries and craft outlets. We saw a lot we liked but did not purchase.
Tomorrow we will go to Port Arthur while the weather is good. We are at the halfway stage of our Tassie travels.
nice write-up... the photos are a great addition to the story of your travels. The cemetery is my favorite, nicely composed. As an ex-art teacher, I can see you have a good eye for composition...thanks for sharing. Richard Souders (rsoud on dpreview and 4 thirds)
