4. Bruny Island

We next drove back through Hobart and south to the seaside port of Kettering, from which we took a twenty-minute car ferry to Bruny Island. Bruny Island, off the southeast coast of Tasmania, is really two islands attached by a narrow neck of land separating Great Bay to the west and the Tasman Sea to the east. Altogether, the island is about forty or fifty miles long from north to south. Most of the single north-south road is paved but most of the other roads are gravel. We stayed for four days at a cottage run by Morella Island Retreat, owned by a family that also had an excellent restaurant there (one of only a few restaurants on the island). The Bruny Island photos are not entirely complete, owing to a compact flash card failure.
