Where ducks wander and sandstone remembers: the slow beauty of Richmond Bridge

#summervacay #june2025 #australiatrip #thingstodo There’s something almost meditative about watching geese and ducks parade freely across the banks of Richmond Bridge. With sandstone arches that reflect gracefully in the calm river, this convict-built structure isn’t just old—it’s timeless. I didn’t need a plan. I simply sat beneath the willow trees, watching the way the light danced on water and birds created ripples with every step. A few locals passed by with dogs, nodding a soft hello—everyone here respects the silence. For all its historical value, Richmond Bridge feels very present. There’s no rush, no noise—just water, wind, and the sense that here, life remembers how to breathe.
