Last night was the busiest night at the park with about 15 vans in but still had no neighbours. Set off for Richmond. We drove to Sorell where we stopped for a coffee and grabbed some groceries. Back in the car and on to Richmond. Set up the van and after lunch we headed into the township. First stop was Old Hobart Town. This is a historical model village. The builders obtained maps of Hobart from 1820 and built 60 buildings and 400 period figurines and set up the model township. It was well done but maybe a bit overpriced. The best bit was they ask if you can find 4 particular figurines, boy falling from tree, woman killing snake, man skinning kangaroo and a Tasmania tiger. These were well hidden and took us 4 or 5 trips around the village to find them. We then walked the main street of Richmond looking at the old buildings and the Richmond Bridge - Australia's oldest bridge which was built by convicts in 1823. Back to the van where it is blowing a gale.
