Introduction

The Richmond Bridge, built in 1825, is Australia's oldest stone bridge spanning the Coal River. Convict labourers participated in the construction process, becoming a symbol of Tasmania's ancient convict culture. Today, it is still in use and attracts a large number of tourists every year to admire the magnificent stone bridge. The honor of heritage conservation emerged in 2005. This bridge not only deserves praise but also reminds people of the immense contributions these former convicts made to Australian society.
