Swansea


The historic township of Swansea is ideal for fishing, swimming and diving, or relaxing on the beach overlooking Great Oyster Bay and the beautiful Freycinet National Park. Swansea has a population of 530, housed in colonial buildings, contemporary homes and classic beachside shacks.

Swansea has some excellent galleries, exhibitions and craft shops - visitors will find time disappears when they visit Gallery One Nine, Bear Cottage Crafts (upmarket and interesting gifts, homewares, jewellery, teddies, fabrics & select furniture. An unusual range of greeting & gift cards. Rooms you can spend hours in and still not see everything. Open 7 days except Christmas Day and Boxing Day), Dos Vagabundos, Community Centre and the Swansea Bark Mill Museum.

Self-guided historic walks of Swansea pass Schouten House, Meredith House and Morris's General Store. You can learn about leather staining at the Swansea Bark Mill and Tavern. Look out for the bizarre profile of Spiky Bridge, just outside town.
