Bruny Island 1

The ferry across to Bruny was nice and easy and reasonably cheap at $63 return for both the Patrol and the HTC. Everyone was unhurried but efficient and we set tyre on the island just 15 minutes later.

Bruny is two distinct islands connected by "The Neck" which is a narrow spit of land with a road on top of it and we decided to set up camp at a Game Reserve just on the southern end of the Neck.

We made our way down through the north island, admiring the views (tall trees and water everywhere) and found ourselves a nice spot in this reserve.

Here are a couple of views of our camp spot - sheltered and very pleasant.



We had a beach within seconds of the camp spot too, and as you can see, it was not terribly crowded.  Yep, another beautiful Tassie beach.


Karen risked losing her toes to frostbite by going for a paddle!  OK, the water temperature is apparently around 17 degrees at the moment so it isn't TOO bad.




Once we'd set up and had our walk up and down the beach we lit a camp fire and settled into dinner.

A fun day indeed.
