Down the road to Bruny Island....

After our stay in Hobart, we headed down to Kettering to catch the ferry to Bruny Island. What a pretty place it is. We explored it from north....


To south.


We found local producers and bought yummy food for our dinner.
Smoked ocean trout from the fabulous Bruny Island Smokehouse...


Cheeses from the Cheese Company...and chocolate from the Providore....mmmm!


There was also wine and oysters on offer, but the Berry Company had no berries as yet due to recent inclement weather.


We walked....


And walked..


stayed in amazing accommodation called 43 degrees...


Climbed the lookout at the neck...can you tell by the hair and jacket how windy it was! It was wild!


And went on a cruise...lots of fun!


We saw seals...


Blowholes...


And amazing rock walls.


Lots of fun, it was great having two nights here...even saw dolphins and a Bruny Island White wallaby...who "clapped" his hands in glee when SB stalled the car!


Here we are tired, semi frozen after our cruise.


New Norfolk here we come!

We haven't been to Bruny Island, and your guided tour makes me want to pack my bags now. It looks devine. We stayed at New Norfolk on our honeymoon at "The Bush Inn", a big old rambling place. It is a lovely town. You will enjoy.
