Richmond

Richmond is a sizeable historic village in the south-west of the Australian state of Tasmania.

Richmond's most famous landmark is the Richmond Bridge, built in 1823, around the time of the town's first settlement. It is Australia's oldest bridge still in use.

The town was initially part of the route between Hobart and Port Arthur until the Sorell Causeway was constructed in 1872.

Today Richmond is best known as being preserved as it was at that time. It is a vibrant tourist town, with many of the sandstone structures still standing.
