Richmond Bridge

Spanning the Coal River in Richmond, Tasmania, the Richmond Bridge is Australia's oldest surviving stone arch bridge, completed in 1825. Constructed by convict labor using sandstone from Butchers Hill, it features six semi-circular arches and was the longest bridge in Australia for a decade. Recognized for its historical significance, the bridge was added to the Australian National Heritage List in 2005. Visitors can walk across and beneath the bridge, enjoy picnics on the grassy riverbanks, and explore the surrounding historic town.
