Richmond is located about 25 km north of Hobart and about 30 minutes drive. Richmond is one of Tasmania's oldest towns, and the town still retains many centuries-old buildings, with more than 50 19th-century buildings, some of which are now hotels, offering high-quality accommodation. Richmond Town was a major military transit station and prisoner station connecting Hobart to Port Arthur in the 1820s. To learn about Tasmania's history, the town of Richmond is the best choice. To learn more about Richmond, the best way is to go shopping on foot. Located in a town of less than 1,000 people, it seems to memorize the nostalgic world of last night's dream. St John's Catholic Church is located on the northeast side of the Richmond Bridge, the oldest existing Catholic Church in Australia, built in 1836. Just a small old town church, limited time, did not go in to visit.
