Bruny Island Holidays
Amazing Bruny Island National Park. This is a "must see" destination. It's quite amazing to be able to travel to an island paradise like Tasmania only to find that within this paradises are MORE unheralded private heavens. Only an hour's drive from the majestic capital (Hobart), Bruny Island offers some fantastic opportunities for the most discerning traveller. Pristine clear waters beckon. Surf, sun, fishing, rainforest ambience.
Why not indulge yourself in the very affordable Bruny
Isle National Park catamaran tour? Take a discount tour on a new, state
of the art catamaran
to the seal colonies of the National Park. View the incredible
Sea Eagles, Whales,
Dolphins and the amazing "Spitting Rock".
This four hour tour has been acclaimed for its photographic
opportunities
(the current record films taken on a single tour is 18 rolls of
film!). Bruny Island is located in the Kingborough municipality
of southern Tasmania. It is accessible by ferry from Kettering, with
sailings approximately nine times daily. The Aboriginal name for the
island is Lunawannaloona.
It was sighted by Abel
Tasman on his voyage to Tasmania in 1642,
but the first European to land was
the French admiral,
Bruny D'Entrecasteaux, after whom it is now known.
The Island virtually divided in two, with
"North Bruny" and "South Bruny"
connected
by a narrow strip of land (the isthmus). There is a viewing platform on the isthmus
which provides not only a view of the land
and seascape but also serves as
a lookout
for the penguins and mutton birds
which frequent the area. Camel Tours are available, and Barnes Bay
on north Bruny provides a fantastic pristine swimming
area.
On south Bruny, the Adventure Bay Coastal Reserve
yields similar benefits.
The
easily accessible and affordable Bligh Museum contains historical documents
and sketches by Australia's early
European explorers,
and Aboriginal material, and is well worth a visit.
Slightly
inland is the Waterfall Creek State Reserve.
The Bruny Island State Forest and Fluted Cape
State Reserve provide for bushwalking,
mountain biking and horse riding activities. Towards the south and west of south
Bruny,
Cloudy Bay Beach has good surfing, fishing
& swimming.
The Labilliardiere
State Reserve has a 5-7 hour
walk through wildflowers and past sandy beaches.
Bruny Island has four 4-star and three 3½-star
holiday unit-style accommodations
(RACT-rated)
plus a youth hostel.
