If you like spectacular scenery and gourmet local produce, Bruny is your place; an island off an island off an island at the bottom of the world.
Also known as Lunawanna-allonah, Bruny Island is separated from mainland Tasmania by a deep green channel called the D’Entrecasteaux. Home to a small population of people who prefer to live on the wild side, Bruny is all about beaches, waves, forests and food.
We set off early from Hobart to beat the crowds, taking a scenic waterside drive and ferry crossing to arrive on the island.
First up? A section of the Cape Queen Elizabeth trail, an easy 2 hour return walk that delivers spectacular views from Mars Bluff of Miles Beach and Bruny Island Arch, a mind-boggling natural rock formation.
It’s onwards and upwards from there, quite literally, as we climb 279 stairs to reach the top of Truganini Lookout where you’ll be met with magnificent 360 degree views of The Neck; a thin sliver of land that connects North and South Bruny.
Learn about local history at Two Tree Point before relaxing for lunch at Adventure Bay, a sheltered stretch of white sand and blue waves, giant eucalyptus standing proud along the shore.
Spend the afternoon tasting your way around the island, sampling locally crafted goodies with stops at the Chocolate Factory, The Honey Pot, Bruny Island Cheese Co. and Get Shucked Oysters. The perfect day? We do say!
