Bruny Island, TAS
0.6 km (0.5 hrs )
★★★☆☆

The remarkable Bruny Island is only an hour's drive south from Hobart, but feels a world away. Access to the island is via a ferry that departs from Kettering. The island is almost two separate islands, joined together by a narrow, sandy isthmus affectionately known as The Neck. It is here at the Neck that you can climb the 100 or more stairs to Truganini Lookout with it spectacular views.

The eastern beach is home to a colony of fairy penguins which may be seen in the evenings as the penguins return to their nests after a long day of fishing.
