Tassie Trip Wrap Up

For those of you who think I have killed my expose of Tassie to death this is the last instalment.

Still on our way north from Hobart to Launceston we pulled off again at the village of Ross.

Once again the village is old by Aussie standards. Much of it is still the original sandstone buildings from the 19th century.Ross is full of lovely buildings like this house. I loved this church.
Ross was a British Army garrison town and the original barracks are one of the oldest buildings there.The sign at one end gives a touch of its history (as with all of my piccies click to enlarge). But I have to say the Bridge was my favourite structure in Ross.Built in 1836 the bridge is the third oldest in Oz.
I loved the detailed carvings.
Another detail that caught my eye were the iron brackets holding the parapet stones together. The arrow stamp is an old sign indicating government property.

One last look at the bridge from the other side of the river.
And that was it our Tasmania trip was over.


On a totally unrelated matter I have another job interview tomorrow. Wish me luck!
