Aquamarine bays fringed with white sand, booming surf and some of the highest sea cliffs in the southern hemisphere – dense rainforest and rolling green pasture – soaring sea eagles and snow-white wallabies – and the best oysters in the world. Yes, Bruny Island has it all.
Bruny is actually two islands connected by The Neck, where thousands of penguins and shearwaters breed in burrows among the dunes.
Bruny Island is about a 40 minute drive south of Hobart. Take the A6 Southern Outlet to Kettering, where Sea Link’s car ferries take 15 minutes to cross the D’Entrecasteaux Channel to Roberts Point on North Bruny.
