From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the whole of Hobart. The scenic area has complete facilities and is worth a visit, especially since the scenic area is free of charge!”

陌染MM:“Traveling to Australia, this stop came to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. Richmond Town is one of the oldest towns. Richmond Bridge is an arch bridge located in Richmond Town. It is the oldest bridge still in use in Australia. The bridge was built by convict laborers and completed in 1825. It was originally named Bigg Bridge, named after Royal Commissioner John Bigg. The raw material of Richmond Bridge is sandstone from the Butchers Hill Quarry, which was transported to the construction site by prisoners using carts. The bridge has four large arches and two small arches, all designed according to the characteristics of water flow.”

There are three oldest prisons in Richmond Town, among which Richmond Gaol is the oldest and best preserved prison in Australia. It was built in 1825 and is one of the best preserved prisons in Tasmania. British criminal Aitch Solomon was once imprisoned here. When visiting the prison, you can see the dormitory of chained prisoners, the whipping yard, the kitchen and storage room, etc., which reproduces the life of prisoners in the past. There is a fee to visit here, and the ticket price is 15 Australian dollars.”

陌染MM:“Traveling to Australia, this stop came to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. The Port Arthur Historic Site is one of the most famous attractions in Hobart. The Prison Church Historic Site, which used to be an old prison building, shows the local prison environment more than half a century ago, as well as the judicial system in Tasmania. Visitors can see the former court here, or follow the dim stairs to the cell and visit the cell environment. I took a tour map, which marked many places. Now all we see is a ruin. Although a sign was erected in the court, cell and other places, everyone can use their imagination to imagine the original picture at that time.”
