Ross Tasmania

 Ross is in the Midlands on the Macquarie River. Most buildings are circa 1824- 1835 ’ish . Ross is classed as a historic town and has many original sandstone  buildings. I love this town ‘ walking down the elm and oak lined streets makes you feel like you are living in another time. A time when things didn’t move so fast and were life was simple. Although I don’t think it was so for the many convicts who worked here. Many female convicts who were on probation and had babies were sent here to the female factory in 1847.

The stone. In these old convict buildings must have stories to tell. So many chisel marks 

The Ross Barracks 

This is along the banks of the River a nice path to walk

The plaque says for lovers of the past and future 

The barracks door

The bridge here is very famous and still used for all traffic today 

Again the convict markers on all buildings and structures made by them 

This beautiful Anglican Church on the hill is apparently for sale ..so sad 

The bakery of course !
