When you return to Hobart you can catch a<br />
quick passenger ferry over to Bruny, the apple<br />
island that exemplifies the term “room to roam”.<br />
Consisting of two land masses joined by a long<br />
narrow isthmus, the island was inhabited by the<br />
Tasmania Aborigines until European arrival.<br />
Visit a plaque dedicated to Explorer James Cook<br />
who came to the island<br />
in 1777 and carved his<br />
initials in a tree that burnt<br />
down in 1905 and was<br />
replaced with the plaque.<br />
Since the 1920’s, Bruny<br />
has become infamous for a<br />
holiday hotspot with hiking<br />
trails, surfing beaches,<br />
ancient caves and a small<br />
friendly local community.<br />
In total, North Bruny and<br />
South Bruny together<br />
have nine coastal enclaves<br />
with the most popular<br />
being Adventure Bay. Dip<br />
into Hotel Bruny, where<br />
freshness and food made on<br />
premises is their specialty.<br />
Try the fish of the day,<br />
caught by local fishermen<br />
Dave and Ross, who bring<br />
in an exclusive ‘catch of<br />
the day’ that constantly<br />
changes and is paired with Bruny Island’s<br />
original cider. Food for the body and food for<br />
the mind; indulge your inner creative self on<br />
an island that welcomes you as a local yourself.<br />
A taste of Tasmania is all one needs to spark a<br />
connection with the heart shaped island and make<br />
a promise that a return will not be far in the horizon.<br />
