A trip to Richmond

I recently went to the historic village of Richmond in Tasmania to meet up with my dad for lunch. After going to the christmas shop (have a look at my previous post to see some photos), we had a wander around the old town. 

Richmond was originally a town built to house convicts, many were forced to work for local farmers or to create new roads, bridges and buildings in the area.



This is St Lukes anglican church. Construction started in 1834 and was built with convict labour.

I really liked this old house and garden.



This is the old Dispensery, now accommodation  (I think).
