In and around Swansea

Swansea on the east coast of Tasmania has a few lovely beaches.  The first photo is the one behind the caravan park.  There is a bit of sand there but it can't be seen. 
The view is of what is called The Hazards in the distance at Freycinet National Park.
The bay is called Great Oyster Bay.

Jo-Anne has written a little about Tasmania [ here ], you might find it interesting.



A graveyard that look out to the sea. Below is a guest house or was.

  3. Thanks for the mention, also thanks for this amazing photos, there is a town/suburb of Newie called Swansea which when I was younger as in a child confused me that there was more then one place with the same name.

    1. You are welcome Jo-Anne. Thanks for doing a post on Tasmania.
      Place names can be confusing in Australia, so many have the same name at times.

  4. I love the scenery and how nice to have a cemetery overlooking the sea. A stunning header shot also.

  5. I love Swansea. I took a portfolio of the region in 2016. I also bought a bottle of whisky from there which won the 1st prize in world competition.

    1. Well that is just something wonderful about that whisky..
      We often stay in Swansea in the caravan, it is a nice place and easy access to other areas too.

  6. Swansea is such a lovely peaceful area. I don't know if the weather ever gets rough but it doesn't seem like it does.

    1. Oh yes it does get rough there, windy like most beachy places Andrew. It is a nice very small town but it's not that far from other good areas.

  7. Photo #5. What really is it?
    Maybe the sign says what?
    Certainly can't be a boat ramp !
    Great photos of the area.
    Cheers
