Bruny Island

Separated from the mainland by the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, Bruny Island is virtually 2 islands, North and South Bruny, joined by a strip of sandhills. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the island was logged by notable explorers and navigators including Abel Tasman, Tobias Furneaux and James Cook. The island was an important 19th-century whaling station, but is now reliant on agriculture and tourism. Access to Bruny is via vehicular ferry from Kettering to Batnes Bay.
