Richmond, TAS 7025

Fantastic community and schools. Lots of clubs, groups and societies and strong social fabric.
Subject to flood inundation in some areas so beware of certain areas - particularly along the tributary that flows beneath Bridge street and across the lowest section of Bathurst and Torrens Streets.
An amazing place to live.

The stunningly beautiful town of Richmond is a popular weekend day trip for Hobart residents. It’s craft and woodwork shops are fantastic if you are looking for truly original handiwork of local craftspeople, and the sweet shop, bakery, and ice cream shops – well, need I say more? Richmond boasts the oldest bridge in Tasmania (1832?) and the oldest Catholic church, which is, of course, perched high on a hill overlooking the town. Here is a great photo tip: on the riverbank on the town side, there is a little walkway, and if you go there and crouch down it is possible to get a photo of the bridge framing the church beyond – magic!
