I have just post-edited some photos from the historic town of Richmond, Tasmania. An easy drive from Hobart, this gorgeous little town is full of the most stunning old buildings. It was really worth seeing.
"The foundation stone for the Richmond Bridge was laid on 11 December 1823 and construction continued using convict labour until completion in 1825. The bridge was originally named Bigge's Bridge after Royal Commissioner, John Thomas Bigge, who recognised the need for the bridge in 1820. In 1832 an employee of the Richmond Gaol was murdered at Richmond bridge. George Grover was employed as a gaoler whose duties including flogging the prisoners. He was unpopular due to his ferocity and was pushed off the edge of Richmond Bridge after drunkenly falling asleep. No one was convicted of his murder." - Wikipedia

Oscar isn't quite as polite as Skye - if you look closely he's sticking his tongue out at you :-D
