Imbued with a heady sense of escapism, glorious wilderness and rustic rural scenes, Bruny Island is a 362-square kilometre island located south of Hobart. Known for its fresh seafood, the Bruny Island Cheese Company, and incredible natural beauty, it can be explored for a day, but best savoured with an overnight stay. To get a sense of glorious solitude, visit Cape Bruny lighthouse and walk to nearby isolated beaches. At dusk, you can watch resident penguins making their way home at The Neck.
