Discover Picturesque Richmond
Richmond, in the centre of the Coal River Valley, is a picture-perfect town and home to Australia’s oldest bridge and Gaol, built by convict labour between 1823 and 1825. It’s also home to Australia’s oldest remaining Catholic Church, St Johns, built-in 1836.
To get the most out of Richmond, try wandering its streets. The town has attracted artists and craftspeople for generations, you’ll find their work in the town’s galleries and cafes.
