Bruny
Island is a small island off the south-east coast of Tasmania,
from which it is separated by the D’Entrecasteaux Channel.
Storm Bay is located to the island's north-east. Both the
island and the channel are named after French explorer Bruni
d'Entrecasteaux. Its traditional Aboriginal name was Alonnah
Lunawanna, which survives as the name of two island settlements,
Alonnah and Lunawanna.Geologically, Bruny Island is actually
two islands - North Bruny and South Bruny, joined
by a long, narrow sandy isthmus. The holiday village of Dennes
Point is located in North Bruny, while South Bruny is the
site of the towns of Alonnah, Adventure Bay and Lunawanna
which are also popular with local residents, holidaymakers
and shack owners.
The Tasman Peninsula, Port Arthur and Eaglehawk Neck offer diverse
day walking options. Choose from over 30 fantastic
walks in and around Tasman National Park. From 15 min
easy family walks right up to challenging walks for the more
experienced and adventurous.
