Richmond Bridge

去澳大利亚旅游，这一站来到了塔斯马尼亚首府——霍巴特。里奇蒙小镇是一个最古老的小镇，里士满石桥是一座位于里奇蒙小镇里面的拱桥，是澳大利亚仍然在使用的最古老的桥。这座桥是囚犯劳工建造的，于1825年竣工，最初名为比格桥，以皇家委员约翰∙比格所命名。里士满桥的原料为布彻斯山采石场的砂岩，由囚犯使用手推车运到建造地，桥一共有四个大拱，两个小拱，都是根据水流的特点而设计。

一个非常宁静致远的澳大利亚小镇。这一座richmond bridge一直安静的在小镇仿佛在述说着小镇的历史。桥体非常牢固，花草盛开漂亮

里奇蒙桥是一座有着三百年历史的砖石桥，它有6个桥洞组成，样子看上去十分的敦实。虽然已经有数百年的历史，但它现在仍然在使用，不仅是景点，更是当地百姓出行的重要设施。

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.

Richmond Town, with a long history, is a stone bridge built by prisoners in 1825. It is only a few old stone bridges that still have vehicles. It is also a symbol of the culture of ancient criminals. It is about 40 minutes'drive from Hobart. It is worth seeing.

Richmond Bridge is Richmond's most important historic attraction. This European arch brick bridge has a history of nearly 200 years. Its shape is very classical. It is surrounded by a broad lawn and the environment is very elegant. Every weekend, it is a place for tourists to gather and go outing. It is very popular.
