Antiques and Treasures at Ross, in Tasmania’s midlands, offers a range of antiques and collectables.
At Antiques and Treasures you can browse the selection of Australian and English antique furniture, fine china and estate and vintage jewellery. You can also choose from the range of antique Tasmanian pottery by John Campbell and the McHugh brothers, specialty timber craft and souvenirs, and local and imported gifts.
Tasmania’s rich colonial and convict history draws antique hunters and collectors from across the world. The colonial township of Ross is one of Australia’s best-preserved 19th century villages with a total of 40 historic buildings. You can walk the town’s tree-lined streets to see examples of the town’s architecture including the Ross Bridge (1836), St Johns Church of England (1868) and the Macquarie House and Store (1840s) which now contains a collection of military memorabilia dating from 1800.
Ross is about an hours’ drive from Launceston (78 kilometres/48 miles) south along the Heritage Highway.
