Day 237 Richmond

We pulled away from Hobart and headed down to Port Arthur, we could not fit a trip into the town of Ross, so on my previous visit to Tassie I had stopped at what I think is a much prettier town of Richmond. While there we went into the miniature village, which was of the start of Hobart, you can see from the photo above that the detail was incredible... not bad for a visit but boy do they know how to charge!!!!!
There is the Old Gaol there and Stephen still has this yen to get me into compromising positions.... didn't et him tie me to the flogging pole....I would like to point out that he took this picture while sitting on the old privy!!!!
The original gaol courtyard, with the original gaolers residence still in use and not available for public viewing...naturally!
The convicts actually built this beautiful bridge on the way out of Richmond..the detail was fascinating but you can't really see it on this picture... onwards to Port Arthur.
