Our next destinations on our counter-clockwise round-trip across Tasmania (Rundreise im Gegenuhrzeigersinn) were Richmond and Port Arthur.
Richmond is a picturesque small village and home to Australia's oldest bridge. If the doctor told you to go to a quiet small town for a while for relaxation, I think Richmond would be the ideal place.
Port Arthur is the famous historical location of the infamous 19th century penitentiary (berüchtigten Gefängnis). I could write a long page here about my personal impressions and thoughts about this place, but my Internet time is too short for that... sorry (maybe later)!
We also saw the impressive coastline at Dootown (where every house is named something with "Doo", they must have lots of humour): lookout places with names such as Blowhole, Devils Kitchen, Tasmans Arch, and Tesselated Pavement.
