"Churchill" near Campania

Our next stop was a private property "Churchill" that was built in 1845 by Winston Churchill Simmons. The property is Tasmanian Heritage listed and apparently last sold in 2006 for a tidy $1.3m. We stayed in a nice mown paddock at the back of the property with 4 or 5 other vans. The weather was still nasty so we looked for things to do in the wind and rain. A short trip to Richmond in a rare break in the weather allowed us to explore this wonderful old town. A visit to the Richmond Gaol Site is eye opening. Port Arthur is not the only significant convict site in Tasmania. We walked around town and down to the oldest still used bridge in Australia, Richmond Bridge. It is in remarkably good condition. We visited the Sweets & Treats shop in the main street for some...umm.. sweets and treats. The rain started again so back to camp. On the way we stopped at Wicked Cheese for some.. umm.. wicked cheese.Read more
