Wow what a long title. I have my very good friend Phillip here with me from South Australia for three weeks holiday. Yesterday (Wed 9th of Aug) we put the dogs in the car and took off for Ross and Later Campbell Town. Ross is only 37km from home and Campbell Town 47km. They are north of Oatlands and easy to get to. We had a pleasant drive except for all the roadworks going on. They are doing  a seven year upgrade on the Midland Highway and we are only into the fourth year of it so far. Never mind all that. I know nobody wants to hear about the roadworks.

I took a few photos in the towns as it was a lovely sunny day. We found a great bakery at Ross and I had a Cornish pasty. Phillip had sausage rolls and we gave the dogs a few bits. We had a lovely walk to the historic Female Factory site and up and down the main street before driving on to Campbell Town. Both are very old towns like Oatlands and Ross has a lovely old bridge and a few sandstone buildings like Oatlands does. There are also several churches. I think many of the old heritage buildings, roads, bridges and walls are convict built. Here are a few pictures I took during our visit. If you are ever in Tasmania they are worth stopping to have a look at.
