I took a small day tour to Bruny Island to see the sites and sample some food. It was by far the best tour I’ve done. It is with Tassie Tours and the tour guide was fun and really worked at getting everyone talking amongst themselves and playing nationality games. The one Frenchman onboard was the designated DJ. Fun!
On the island we stopped to get a good view of the scenery. Beautiful!
Our first food so was Get Shucked, an Oyster bar. They have their own Oyster catch across the road so these are as fresh as can be. Literally just from the sea.
Next was a cheese shop.
Next we stopped at the neck. It is a tiny step of land that connects the South part of the island to the North. It is not much wider than the highway. Here is a penguin nesting ground.
Next was a berry farm. They make homemade ice cream!
We took a bush walk and found some wallabies!
We stopped for lunch at a restaurant that had amazing views. I ate smoked salmon roll which is the freshest and lightest I’ve tasted. The cascade beer has no preservatives and is so clear. It is bottled here in Tasmania.
At a beach we stopped at. Beautiful. The water was cool but that day the air was chilly. This water comes straight up from Antarctica. A couple people swam but I decided not to.
On the way to the lighthouse. You can see it at the top of the peak on the right.
Bruny lighthouse.
Walking down to the beach from the lighthouse. Graves of two of the 14 children one lighthouse keeper had. Yes there was not much to do here as it is isolated.
