Bruny Island

Bruny Island


Bruny Island, just off the south-eastern coast of Tasmania, is a sanctuary of wildlife, beautiful beaches, boating adventures, culture and history, souvenirs, shops, cheese and wine.

The island, an hour's drive and a short ferry ride from Hobart, is a laid back haven inhabited by just 600 odd people. Deceptively large at around 100 kilometres in length, Bruny is essentially made up of a North and South Island which are separated by a thin isthmus known as "The Neck" - the home to a colony of fairy penguins and muttonbirds during October to April.

There's plenty of things to see and do on the island: relaxing and swimming at the many secluded beaches, romantic coastal walks, boating and kayaking, bushwalking, wine and dine, and wildlife spotting including the island's famous White Wallabies.

Fishing is a popular pastime on the Island and the bay is home to a variety cod, ocean perch, parrotfish, and flatheads, and also crayfish. But even if you do nothing at all, just grab a bottle of Bruny Island produced Pinot and relax, enjoy life, while taking in the breathtaking views from some of the highest sea cliffs in the South Hemisphere.

As they say, this is the life!
