Richmond, located about 25 kilometers north of Hobart, drives for about 30 minutes. Richmond is one of the oldest towns in Tasmania. It still has more than a hundred years of ancient buildings. It is said that there are more than fifty 19th century buildings, some of which have now become hotels and provide high-quality accommodation. The town of Richmond was an important military transit station in the 1820s and a prison station connecting Hobart and Port Arthur. To understand Tasmania's history, the town of Richmond is the best choice. The best way to get a better understanding of Richmond is to go shopping on foot. In this small town with less than 1,000 people, I wandered around as if I had met the nostalgic world in my dream last night. Richmond Bridge, the oldest bridge still in use in Australia, is 41 meters (135 feet) long and 7.6 meters (25 feet) wide. It spans the Coal River and uses locally mined sandstone, which was built by prisoner workers by hand. The cornerstone of Richmond Bridge was laid at the end of 1823. After 17 months, it opened in April 1825, which is the same as any other bridge in Australia. Structural bridges are 10 years ahead of schedule. Designers of the bridge can't verify it, but it may be colonial architect David Lambe or public works Engineer Thomas Thomas Bell, Major Major Thomas Bell. The bridge was originally named after the Royal Commissioner John & Thomas & Bigge, Bigge John Thomas Bigge, and was called Bigge s Bridge. Bigger proposed to build the bridge as early as 1820 in order to safely transport people and goods to the East Coast and Port Arthur. Richmond Bridge was listed on the Australian National Heritage List in 2005 as an outstanding historical attraction.
