Ross Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
The town of Ross is located in the middle of Tasmania, about 120 kilometers from Hobart. Built in 1812, the town is one of the oldest towns in Australia. The houses in the town are all beige walls and green pointed roofs, which are set against the tall oak, eucalyptus and conifer trees. Basically, every family has flowers and a clean rural scenery.
At the same time, mentioning the town of Ross, I have to mention Hayao Miyazakis comic book "The Witch's Delivery Service". If I read "The Witch's Delivery Service", I will find that the scenes on the street are similar to the animation. This is because here is The original conception of "The Witch's Delivery Service". The town's most famous bakery, ROSS VILLAGE BAKERY, is where the witch Xiaoqi works.
Walk to the town center, the intersection is the famous Four Corner Street. The four corners of this intersection are located in four different buildings: bars, churches, courts and prisons, which represent the temptation. Redemption, rebirth, and curse. Standing on the corner of the street, it feels like standing at the crossroads of life.
Ross Bridge is another famous attraction in the town of Ross. This beautiful sandstone bridge is the third oldest bridge in Australia. The exquisite relief on the bridge will not remind you of the fact that it was built by more than 10,000 exile women in 1836. What is hard to imagine is that the Ross Bridge is still in use today without any signs of retirement.

Those who have seen "The Witch's Delivery Service" will be attracted by the lovely and beautiful town of Hayao Miyazaki. In fact, there is such a place in the world, the Ross town of Tasmania. The town can go from the south to the north in five minutes, although the mini is very peaceful, the building and the surrounding scenery are beautiful. It is said that Hayao Miyazaki came here to be attracted by the quiet town of this time, and inspired the creation of "Kiki's Delivery Service". The most famous coffee shop in the town is the prototype of the bakery where the movie protagonist Kiki works. Sharp roofs and stone bridges also appear in cartoons.
