Swansea

The last town on this trip is Swansea, part historic town, part beach resort.


The first British settlement in the area was a grant given to George Meredith in 1821. Actually, he was one of a group of partners who took up grants in the area. He was also heavily involved in early colonial politics, but if you're interested in that, follow the link.

( Usual stuff )

Swansea Bark Mill

The Bark Mill Museum is on the side of a former bark mill (bet you couldn't guess that). There's also a tavern, bottlshop & bakery cafe which is a nice place to stop for a snack. Unless a coach load of tourist descend on the place at the same time, but I was in the museum bit when that happened.


Just a few photos because the light was bad and I couldn't be fussed getting camera to cooperate. Also, more interesting when you actually see them than as small, still images.
