Bruny Island south of Hobart

Bruny Island south of Hobart on Tasmania's east coast was discovered by French explorer Bruni d'Entrecasteau whose name is now given to the channel separating the island from the Tasmanian mainland. A car ferry allows visitors to come to Bruny from Kettering, and although over 600 people live here it is a magnet for many day trippers from Hobart and tourists. Adventure Bay has a caravan park and a small convenience shop. Many shacks and holiday homes which dot the island are available for holiday stays in the little hamlets scattered around Bruny Island.
Bruny Island is home to fur seals, fairy penguins, white wallabies as well as many birds and snakes. A large portion of the island still retains its native forest. Only small sections have been cleared for farming. At the southern-most part of Bruny Island we find the Cape Bruny Lighthouse. It was built in 1838 but is no longer in use. The caretakers take weather readings for the Tasmanian weather bureau and greet tourists inspecting the lighthouse buildings.
The Neck is a narrow stretch of land separating north and south Bruny Island. Because of the sandy hilly terrain it is also a rookery for Mutton Birds and Fairy Penguins.
