February 2011, Heritage Highway, Tasmania






The Heritage Highway was the first road to connect north and south Tasmania. Many of the old Inns and houses of that time are still being used. The bridges, built by convict labour, are still being used and have never needed repairing. One of the towns on the highway, Oatlands (pop 600) has 87 Georgian sandstone buildings and many dry stone wall fences.
