Bruny Island

A very pleasant trip to Bruny Island Caught the 11.05 am ferry and went to the northern tip where we had coffee and biscuits at a lovely new cafe overlooking the water. Ther were lots of terns which we recorded on the new SLR. Then travelled to the neck which is a very narrow strip of land joining north and south Bruny Islands. We climbed 182 steps to see the view - spectacular and still sunny. When we got to the southern tip, Bruny Cape complete with lighthouse, the sun had gone under and the landscape was dull and uninspiring. Travelled a very narrow rough road to Adventure Bay where Captain Cook landed in 1777 to get water and grass for cattle. By then it was drizzling so we had tea and cake at a little cafe and caught the return ferry. The trip fromKettering to Honart in the dark wasn't too pleasant with oncoming headlights, but made it ok with Herb's excellent driving.
