About Bruny Island

North Bruny is mainly farmland, and is relatively flat. South Bruny is more mountainous, and is more heavily forested. The main towns for visitors are Adventure Bay on South Bruny. This is where the cruises depart from, and is adjacent to one of the three discrete sections of South Bruny National Park. There is accommodation here, and a bowling club for drinks and meals. If you are going to spot one of the White Wallabies, along the national park track here at dusk is your best chance, and the rainforest and walks are in the hills just about the town. Not far from Adventure Bay is the town of Allonah. Here you'll find the post office, pharmacy, the pub, cricket club, school, medical centre, Police station and history room. The Bruny Island winery is five minutes south of Allonah. There
