A small museum on the island's history.
There is a Little Penguin colony at The Neck, and a hide there for viewing them coming ashore after dusk. Take care not to destroy any of their nests (stay on the path). Penguins will just stand still if they are afraid (they won't walk around you) and may decide not to come home for the night if they're spooked, so stay well out of their path. Don't shine any white light near them. Red light is okay; you can cover your flashlight with a piece of red cellophane.
Beautiful views of the Neck from a hilltop platform. Can be crowded as this is a must-see for most visitors to Bruny Island.
A historic lighthouse built in 1836, at the far end of Bruny Island. The 114-metre lighthouse is home to several lighthouse keepers, who also maintain the surrounding South Bruny National Park. The lighthouse is reachable on foot from a nearby car park, and has beautiful views of the ocean and nearby landscapes. Visitors can climb the steps to the lighthouse base and the overlook over Cape Bruny. Tours operate every half hour from November to April and allow visitors to climb to the top of the Lighthouse. A small museum exhibition is open to the public in the nearby cottage. A great place to see an echidna too.
