Bruny Island 4

We decided to have a quiet day today. It may have been something to do with the beer consumed when chatting to Bob and Narelle last night, but I will deny that forever!

So we decided to take a look at North Bruny and see what happens up there.

First stop was the lookout on the Neck.

This is the view south and it shows the narrow strip of land. There is a Little Penguin colony here (we're not allowed to call them Fairy Penguins now - stupid political correctness) and you can see how slim it is.

There is a monument to Truganini who wasn't the last Tasmanian aboriginal (they some others somewhere apparently) and it seems she has a pretty traumatic life at first. Look it up - you will be horrified.

The view north - a little wider than the southern strip of land, but still narrow enough.

The water views - sigh

We continued on our loop of the north, bumping into some interesting people as we traveled. This pic is of Point Dennes and I was trying to get an arty photo again.

Thoughts?

On our way back home we stopped off at the Bruny Island Smoke House and after sampling we bought some delicately smoked salmon. A glass of wine at $12 a glass was enough to stop us from lingering too long!

We also called in on the Bruny Cheese Factor and enjoyed a cheese platter and a glass of the local chardonnay. Just magic!
