Campbell Town is about 70km south of Launceston Tasmania.  It's a nice place to stop and have a rest when driving to Hobart.  Campbell Town offers  coffee shops, grocery store a park, a pub and nick knacks along with a few other things.  Population is about 750 to 800 people and is a friendly rural town with farming being the main business in the area.  My 2nd great grandfather coming as a free settler in 1854 from Kilkenny, Ireland with his wife and a few children to live in a place behind Campbell Town called Isis River which is in fact just a river and a farm or two.  2nd great grandfather grew potatoes in this area and extended his family, but not satisfied with his crops he moved to Tunnack, Tasmania further south east where he remained until his death in 1880.

That's 'him' waiting patiently for me whilst I walk over the old bridge to take photos. Certainly no place for caravan parking.

Oldest stone span bridge in Australia built by convicts the foundation stone was laid in 1823, bridge finished 1825. I've shown pictures of the bridge before but never shown these from 2015.

On Sunday we took Auntie from the State of Brisbane for a drive up the Tamar River, the East side then the West side. Up to Hillwood, Egg Island, Gravelly Beach are just some of the villages along the way.

The weather has been dreadful and more like spring. On Sunday it rained, was cold and miserable, so we headed off for the drive rather than sit at home.
The Batman Bridge was built between 1966 - 1968. It was the first cable - stayed bridge built in Australia, also one of the first of it's kind in the World.

All photos taken from the car as it was too wet and windy to get out.

Swan Hill in the State of Victoria is a sweet little town that we have travelled through a few times on our way up to Northern Australia.

Ross the town is classed as being in the midlands of Tasmania, Australia.  It's a very tidy town with heaps of history.

The bridge was built by convicts in 1836 and is the 3rd oldest bridge still in use in Australia.

I have taken a few photos of the bridge over time, but never there at the right time of the day to get a good shot.  The camera I used to take the photos below was an old digital, so that in it's self tells me I must drive down in springtime or summer and take some more photos of the Ross Bridge.  I want to be able to zoom in and take digital photos of the carvings of the bridge.  I have some lovely slides of the bridge.

The Man O' Ross Hotel built in 1831 has now gone into liquidation as it's owned by a firm from another city.  Let's hope someone can buy it, would be a shame to see it neglected.
