Pretty solid brick & stone bridge built entirely using convict labour from bricks they fired locally (1.25 million of them). The river was diverted 1km to run under the bridge after it had been built.
With a big tidy up and much renovations to make a walking bridge across the Elizabeth River, and a lovely park area built, it is an absolutely perfect spot to stop and view the Red Bridge and the convict buildings that surround it. Beautifully kept manicured lawns. Very inviting.
This was one of 3 bridges I really enjoyed seeing today. All are located along the Midland Highway and reasonably close . All have a great history. This one is circa 1838The other 2 are Ross 1834and Richmond Bridge 1823
Brilliant food - coffee and amazing heritage building. Well worth a stop. If you are looking for somewhere to buy provisions for a road trip/picnic etc you will not be disappointed.
Gorgeous bridge with very very tame ducks wanting to be fed. The colonial sculptures littering the highway are a lovely thing to see as you drive down the gorgeous countryside. Def worth stopping and enjoying some tassie history
Ordered two flat white coffees, one raspberry muffin and butter. Butter was 50 cents extra, coffee had enough foam to almost be a cappicino and very strong. Asked for another coffee no froth, 2nd coffee had even more froth. Requested some more milk so the froth could be removed and the coffee diluted, milk was tepid. I had been here two years ago and service, food and coffee were great. Service was carried out by sour faced staff and no apology for unsatisfactory coffee.
A great range of delicatessen lines and snacks through to full meals.The food that I have bought has been high quality but so has the price.Coffee's are hit and miss, one day it has been good but un-drinkable the next.Service is also dependent on who is working with the men being quite abrupt and unaccommodating to children.Stairs to enter from the car park and access the toilets are steep and the outside ones are slippery during wet weather, suggest parking out the front for easier access.Their restaurant meals are very nice, with a warm log fire.
This is such a lovely icon of history. Beautifully designed, you need to see it side-on from the park area on the left. It spans the river and is reflected in the water - idyllic.
从酒杯湾开车去朗塞斯顿,随便在tomtom导航了一个餐厅,美味的令人非常意外。非常好吃的炸鸡卷,薄薄的面饼有一点松脆,里面裹着炸鸡和蔬菜,酱料非常好吃。餐厅氛围很好,有些住在周围的居民在此小坐会友。遇到一个老爷爷,闲谈中居然发现他来过北京,而且还是在毛泽东时期。很nice的老爷爷
Take the time to stop and enjoy a coffee, you will thank yourself for it, the cake, fresh savories and even gifts to take home are wonderful and worth the stop.
