Bruny Island lies in Tasmania’s south-eastern coast and is nearly 100 kms (62 miles) long. The island is made up of two areas–North Bruny and South Bruny, which are joined by The Neck, a slender land strip. You can get here from Kettering easily. The island is home to the South Bruny National Park, which is a tourist hot spot, and travelers can enjoy panoramic views of the sea. It has massive cliffs that stand like sentinels, overlooking the long stretches of sandy beaches. The island is home to plenty of flora and fauna, including some rare and endangered species. Travelers can explore Bruny Island easily by taking a cruise. There is plenty to explore and Bruny is famed for its cheese, oysters, and chocolates. A popular landmark is the historical Cape Bruny Lighthouse, which is atop a hill in the South Bruny National Park. Adrenalin junkies and adventure lovers can take the Fluted Cape hiking trail along Adventure Bay. Discover the island’s rich history by heading to the Bligh Museum of Pacific Exploration.
