Bruny Island - stunning island, which is located on the southern coast of Tasmania.

When the car ferry arrives at the Bruni, from the window of my cabin I admire views of Islands with incredibly clean beaches and bordering the turquoise waters.

Located just 15 minute boat ride from the South-East coast of Tasmania, This island is one of the most beautiful places in Australia.

With a population of just over 600 people and located in 50 km from Long Island, Bruny Island seems incredibly remote and isolated: There is no tourist office or even any bus tours.
If you could climb to a height of bird flight, you could see the island, having a perfect hourglass shape, United a narrow strip of sand, that has local name The Neck (isthmus). In the northern part of the island, where is approaching the ferry, the surface of the Earth is flat and suitable for grazing, While the southern part of the island is more Rocky and here is the National Park of southern Bruni.

Nature, delicacies and history make this island a trump card for tourists. You should spend on the island, at least, two or three days, and ideally a week, that explore all its beaches, walking routes, forests and gulfs. One of the best hiking trails – This is a climb up the wooden stairs to the isthmus of The Neck, where you will look at 360 degrees on the island and where you can see the Nuenonne Memorial – People, originally inhabited island.

Today is widely known for the tragic history of Trugernanner, Probably, one of the most well known in Tasmania Aboriginal women of the colonial era, born Bruni. Its treatment methods, in the view of the Europeans, symbolize treatment Tasmanian aborigines. When she was 17, She was raped, her sisters were enslaved by drugs, and her fiancé, and her mother was killed.
