From The Neck that connects the two landmasses to the majestic South Bruny National Park abundant with wildlife and inviting ruggedness, you’ll always feel occupied in Bruny Island.

The Neck

The Neck is a moniker for the narrow strip of land linking the North and South Bruny Island. The Neck Lookout on top offers stunning 360-degree views of the Island. You can even take the boardwalks to find viewpoints where you can enjoy the scenery. The surrounding Neck Game Reserve is home to adorable fairy penguins and short-tailed shearwaters. Stroll through the beach at dusk to see birds returning to their burrows and penguins’ group together and saunter.

Cape Bruny Lighthouse

On the southern tip of Bruny Island stands the famous Cape Bruny Lighthouse. It was built in 1836 and lit in 1838. Towering 114 meters above the cliffs of Cape Bruny, it offers picturesque views of the South Bruny coastline. To reach the top balcony of the lighthouse, you have to climb the cast-iron spiral stairs. You can hear stories of shipwreck tragedies, fascinating ways in which the lighthouse was lit before it turned solar power, and the hardships of convicts who built the white lighthouse.
