Bruny Island is off the coast of Tasmania; it’s one of Tasmania’s southernmost islands. With only 20 minutes ferry ride from mainland Tasmania, you can explore the island’s eucalyptus forests, long, rugged stretches of coastlines and stunning beaches. Bruny Island comprises two islands connected by a thin isthmus of sand, a breathtaking nature’s wonder that is a must-see when visiting Tasmania. Here are some highlights Bruny Island has to offer:
Cape Bruny Lighthouse, built between 1836-1838 with convict labour, is perfect for a day tour.
Only 1 hour and 10mins drive from Roberts Point, which is Bruny Island Ferry Terminal – the Island’s main link to Tasmania.
Great Bay – If you’re a foodie, then Great Bay is a must. Located north of Bruny is the famous Bruny Island Cheese Company, enjoy fresh oysters from, Great chucked oyster farm or visit beautiful vineyards and whisky distilleries.
The Neck is an isthmus of land connecting north and south Bruny Island. It is an important habitat for Bruny’s native wildlife, and here you’ll find the Neck Game Reserve. Boardwalks and viewing platforms enable you to observe short-tailed shearwaters and little penguins (also known as fairy penguins). Timber stairs lead from the dunes to the Neck lookout, offering stunning 360-degree views.
