East Coast Heritage Museum

Inside Swansea’s original schoolhouse, this engaging little museum covers Aboriginal artefacts, colonial and convict history, whaling and the plight of the thylacine (including a tiger trap from the late 19th century). It's worth stopping in just to see the diorama of old Swansea, and eggs from the now-extinct Tasmanian emu.
