Richmond Gaol
The northern wing of the remarkably well-preserved gaol was built in 1825, five years before the penitentiary at Port Arthur. Like Port Arthur, fascinating historic insights abound, but the mood is pretty sombre.

Oak Lodge
Oak Lodge , opposite the maze, is worth a stickybeak. It's one of Richmond's oldest homes (c 1831), now owned by the National Trust and operated by the Coal River Historic Society. Inside is a museum and gallery offering an insight into colonial life.

Richmond Bridge
This chunky but elegant bridge still funnels traffic across the Coal River, and is the town's proud centrepiece. Built by convicts in 1823, making it the oldest road bridge in Australia, it's purportedly haunted by the 'Flagellator of Richmond', George Grover, who died here in 1832.

Bonorong Wildlife Centre
Around 17km west of Richmond, 'Bonorong' derives from an Aboriginal word meaning 'native companion'. Look forward to Tasmanian devils, koalas, wombats, echidnas and quolls. The emphasis here is on conservation, education and the rehabilitation of injured animals.
