|
Swansea (pop. 210) is an old settlement which, in the 19th C, gained importance as the administrative center of Glamorgan, the oldest rural district in Australia.
On Franklin Street stands Morris' General Store. This three-story building dates from 1838 and contains a small museum. Bark Mill, built in the 1870s, houses the East Coast Museum. Also of interest is the restored bark-grinding mill, which once produced tannin for use in preparing leather. In the old schoolhouse dating from 1869 can be seen memorabilia from the pioneering days.
