Bruny Island

Bruny Island sits to the south of Hobart. It flanks both the Tasman Sea on the east and the Great Southern Ocean at its southern end. The Island is actually two seperate land masses joined like an hour glass by a narrow sand bridge which is also home to a thriving Blue Eyed penguin colony. However, to see these delightful little characters you need to be waiting there at dawn or dusk.

A ferry service is kept busy transporting locals, visitors and vehicles to and from Bruny Island, and among yesterday's travellers were the Bazflyers. There are many Ecco attractions available for visitors to the island ranging from camping in the National Park to an award winning trip by boat along the towering cliffs that form the island's south east coastline. Our journey to Bruny Island included was to experience these cliffs....from the sea and we were not disappointed.
