In Tasmania, Australia, at the end of the world, there is a beautiful church
On the third day of the Tasmanian island tour, from Cradle Mountain to Hobart, passing through the town of Ross, we stayed in a bed and breakfast converted from a church.
Ross Town
From Cradle Mountain to Ross Town, the journey is long, requiring two and a half hours. We arrived at the town at noon, a place like a paradise, quiet and beautiful, where every household has decorated their small courtyard exquisitely and beautifully.
Ross Town's fame also comes from a bakery here, where the famous Japanese manga artist Hayao Miyazaki once lived for a while and created 'Kiki's Delivery Service'. The bakery where the little witch Kiki worked in the movie was inspired by this place. The bakery's goods are delicious, and many people queue up to buy food, including locals, tourists, and mostly Japanese and Chinese visitors.
Walking along the road from the bakery to Ross Four Corners, we saw the four buildings of the church, the courthouse, the bar, and the prison, representing redemption, justice, desire, and sin. Standing here is like standing at the crossroads of life, and how you choose determines what kind of life you will have. Not far away is the Ross Stone Bridge, an ancient stone bridge built by convicts at the time, standing quietly here, having withstood the passage of time, and full of history.
Bed and Breakfast Converted from a Church
On the way from Cradle Mountain to Hobart, we rested for one night in a bed and breakfast converted from a church. This place is so beautiful that I'm at a loss for words. The children kept saying it was a castle and loved it very much. When the first rays of the morning sun shone through the church's stained glass windows onto the wall of our bedroom, forming a colorful light, it touched the softest part of my heart, and I felt that this was the most beautiful gift travel has given me...
