Overview

Swansea sits on the north‑west shore of Great Oyster Bay, framed by Freycinet National Park and the colony‑rich waters that host dolphins, whales and seals. With a 2021 census population of 997, the town offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle complemented by historic amenities such as Morris’ General Store – run by the same family for over a century – the Swansea Bark Mill, now a museum, tavern and bakery, and the Victorian‑era Schouten House operating as a hotel. Residents also enjoy close encounters with short‑tailed shearwaters and little penguins, while nearby hills and rivulets provide walking and nature‑watching opportunities.
