Many people live on Bruny Island and catch the ferry across to Kettering each day and home again in the evening if they work on Mainland Tasmania. However, there are many crossings during the day.
When I first went to Bruny Island many years ago, there were only a few shacks, only one shop that was open for a few hours a day, no boardwalks, not good access to the beach and no accommodation other than a great big paddock which was used to put a caravan on without power, it was on this land I parked my car, cooked a meal on an open fire, my friend and I slept in the car for one night having the times of our lives.....those were the days :) That was before I was married.
Took my husband to see Bruny Island a few years ago and we went for the day. Now there is a shop there open all day! Board walks, roads graded and quite a lovely village. Sheep, cows and so on..
There is a north and south island, the south island being hilly.

Yes B, did have a good time travelling around Tasmania back then before I was married. It's certainly your kind of place 'our bush' :) Hugs M xoxox
DeleteI've been to Tassie 3 times but never to Bruny. The first time we weren't allowed to take the hire car there, the second time the weather was too wild and I didn't try the next time. It looks so rugged and beautiful. I can imagine you having fun there when you were young and carefree.
ReplyDeleteThose things happen Diane. Still not permitted to drive a hire car on a gravel road I believe. Maybe another time you will get there.
DeleteGreat area for hikes. When we do this in the States we see traffic signs with bears on instead of Kangaroes.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,

Sure is a lovely picturesque place.
DeleteWow! Looks like cloudy bay is really living up to its name!!! LOVE the sign - and the whole island looks wild and remote. Definitely MUST do!!!
