Swansea - The Bark Mill

The Bark Mill is a restored mill and museum in Swansea on Tasmania's east coast. The mill is Australia's only restored Black Wattle Bark Mill and possibly the only one in the world. The fully working mill demonstrates how bark from local black wattle trees was once crushed for export worldwide. The bark is the basic ingredient used in tanning. The mill was established in 1885 and continued operating until the early 1960s.

In addition to the museum are a tavern and bakery.Read more
