Photography of Tasmania
The red lichen on the rocks of Binalong Bay give the region its name.... "Bay of Fires". One of our favourite spots in beautiful Tasmania.
... Bay of Fires, Tasmania
The Bay of Fires is characterized by white beaches, blue water and huge granite blocks that are colored bright orange by lichens. Perhaps, Captain Tobias Furneaux named the bay after these fiery red rocks. ... The lichens responsible for the orange hue in the rocks of Bay of Fires belong to the family Hymeneliaceae.....

Red Bridge - Campbell Town, Tasmania, Constructed 1836 - 1838
The Red Bridge in Tasmania crosses the Elizabeth River at Campbell Town. Built using penal labour, it is the oldest surviving brick arch bridge in Australia. The bridge contains three arch spans of 7.6 m (25 ft) each and holds two lanes of traffic as well as pedestrian walkways. It lies on the Midland Highway, roughly halfway between Hobart and Launceston, carrying over two million vehicles per year. It was constructed of 1,250,000 handmade bricks on dry land, and after its completion the river was diverted to flow under the bridge. This bridge has never undergone repair work!
