Tasmania: Bruny Island

We took a ferry over from Taz to Bruny Island, drove west down Bruny to Adventure Bay where we parked up and prepared for the 3hr hike up the Fluted Cape. The hike started on the beach and then entered a nature reserve where we saw wild wallabies and stumbled across a bay where there were hundreds of towers of stones. Then the hike began. The Fluted Cape is 272m above sea level, our starting point. The hike had a steep incline, grabbing on to rocks and trees for support on the loose ground and for rests in the 25c heat. The views along the hike were spectacular with sheer drops to the sea below. The view at the top of the Fluted Cape was best of all with the possibility of whale watching. The journey down the cape was much easier and had the reward of lunch when we reached the bottom. We then visited Penguin Rookery on the way back to the ferry.
