The Richmond Bridge is made of sandstone from the Buchholz Hill quarry, transported by prisoners using carts to the construction site, and the bridge has four large arches, two small arches, designed according to the characteristics of the current.

A very quiet and far-flung Australian town. This richmond bridge has been quiet in the town as if talking about the history of the town. The bridge is very strong and the flowers and plants are in full bloom.
