Swansea

SWANSEA - TASMANIA

Swansea is the centre of Australia's oldest rural municipality, Glamorgan, and the original council chambers are still in use. The area was settled permanently in the 1820s, with developments over the years outlined in a museum adjoining the operative Swansea Bank Mill. It's impossible to miss the three storey Morris General Store, which has supplied community and visitor needs since 1838, or the 1860 Community Centre, where billiards can be played on a superb full-size table that is a true collector's piece.
What to See and Do:
All water-based leisure pursuits, visit lookouts, the Bark Mill and Glamorgan War Memorial Centre and Museum, travel north to Cranbrook and see the quaint Auld Kirk (10km) or south to the Spikey Bridge built by convicts in the 1840s with thousands of fieldstones (8km).
