Post 335 Freycinet to Hobart a series of convict built bridges.
Campbelltown The Red Bridge
Built in 1838 by convict labour.

I am sure none of the convicts working on the bridge could have envisaged it carrying a vehicle such as this one day.

Steel straps holding the brick work together. Note the convict arrow stamped into the steel.
Ross Bridge
On to the small town of Ross and it nice 3 arch sandstone bridge.
Ross Bridge
The sandstone is beautifully carved. There must have been some pretty talented artists amongst the criminal class.
Ross Bridge
Not only was Clifford there he drove over the bridge.
Blackman Bridge
This bridge is not as accessible. It is also convict built and has stone pillars but is unique in that the deck is timber. At present the timber deck needs repair and the bridge is closed.
Richmond Bridge
The final bridge for the day is the most familiar arched bridge at Richmond.
