COLONIAL COTTAGES
OF ROSS

Church Mouse, the oldest surviving Sunday school in Australia, Hudson, a Georgian sandstone cottage and Apple Dumpling, a charming timber cottage complete with fruit trees, comprise this fascinating collection. Enjoy the unhurried pace and tranquillity of Ross while strolling down the tree-lined streets with sandstone cottages either side. The convict-built Ross Bridge (1836) with its 186 sandstone carvings is a must to see by floodlight. Visit the 'Female Factory' (convict prison) and the Wool Centre. Ross, on the Heritage Highway, is not far from the cities or east coast beaches. The most significant convict village in Australia, Ross is well-preserved and meets the needs of visitors without being over-commercialised.
