Cloudy Bay, Bruny Island, Tasmania.

Tasmania, which is an island, does have islands.  Bruny Island is but one down south.  Beautiful scenery, lovely beachs and many walks can be done. 

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.  There is a north and south island, the south island being hilly.
Years ago whaling was the industry down there, today they have beautiful fresh oysters, farming and tourism.  Also a National park, lots of beautiful birds and so on.  The building is a toilet.

I'm showing photos of Cloudy Bay which is below Cockle Creek, see map.

Also - Please check your 'spam box', I think many of my comments I've made on your blogs have gone there....I check my spam everyday before I answer my comments, seems a few are going in there still.

Bruny Island, Tasmania, Australia

Tasmania which is an island does have islands.  Bruny Island is but one down south.  Beautiful scenery, lovely beach and many walks can be done. 
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.
