Bruny Island

Bruny Island is an island of surprises - gentle countryside and wild coastlines, quiet beaches and roaring surf, lighthouses, farmhouses, and a rich heritage of sealers, whalers and explorers. There are many spectacular cliff-top walks in South Bruny National Park, while at The Neck Game Reserve you can see little penguins and shearwaters in great numbers on twilight tours in the breeding season.
