Swanston is a rural locality in the local government area (LGA) of Southern Midlands in the Central LGA region of Tasmania. The locality is about east of the town of Oatlands. The 2016 census recorded a population of 19 for the state suburb of Swanston.[1]
Swanston is a confirmed locality.[2]
A town of this name was proclaimed for this area in June, 1858 by Governor Sir Henry Young, but it was never developed.[3]
Most of the boundaries are survey lines. The Little Swanport River flows through the locality before forming part of the north-eastern boundary.
Route C310 (Stonehenge Road) leads to Swanston Road, which provides access to the locality.[2] [4]
