There are a variety of walks from just a few minutes to a few hours through the rainforests and national parks of the South Bruny Island. The walk to Grassy Point along the water at Adventure Bay leaves from the end of Adventure Bay Road. There is a small inlet (about 2-3m) to cross at the start of the walk, so if you can wear trousers that can be rolled up that is an advantage. This is the section of track where you have your best chance to see the White Wallaby at dusk. Just above Adventure Bay there is a short rainforest walk. After rain this walk can be overrun by leeches, so make sure you have your insect repellent applied liberally before you decide to undertake it.
A collection of artifacts relating to exploration of the South Pacific. The building was built from convict bricks from North Bruny Island, and the foundation stone laid on the 200th anniversary of Captain William Bligh's birth, in 1955.
A small museum on the island's history.
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.
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.
