Richmond a town in Tasmania about 25 km north-east of Hobart. Richmond was initially established as penal colony within the Van Diemen's Land, as Tasmania was known in the earlier days. Present-day Richmond is best known as being preserved as it was at that time. It is a vibrant tourist town, with many of the sandstone structures still standing. The Richmond Bridge is the oldest bridge still in use in Australia and also the oldest stone span bridge in Australia and one of the main touristic attractions.
