Bruny Island Circuit — Kettering to Cape Bruny.
A compact island adventure a short ferry from Hobart. Bruny packs sweeping ocean lookouts, gourmet food stops and a historic lighthouse into a single day. The ride crosses The Neck isthmus, drops to Adventure Bay, then follows a partly gravel road to the 1838 Cape Bruny Lighthouse on the wild southern tip. Cool, windy and green — quintessential southern Tasmania.

The route.
KetteringStart · Start at the Kettering ferry terminal, 40 minutes south of Hobart. Buy your ferry ticket on board; the first sailings beat the day-trippers.
Kettering–Bruny Ferry (Roberts Point)Ferry · The 15-minute vehicle ferry across the D'Entrecasteaux Channel lands at Roberts Point on North Bruny. Motorcycles load first and pay a reduced fare.
The Neck LookoutScenic Point · Climb the timber staircase over the narrow isthmus joining North and South Bruny. Little penguins and shearwaters nest in the dunes below at dusk.
Adventure BayRestaurant · Lunch at Adventure Bay, where Cook and Bligh once anchored. Bruny Island cheese, oysters and fudge are all within a few kilometres.
Cape Bruny LighthousePhoto Spot · Ride the partly gravel road to the convict-built 1838 lighthouse on the island's wild southern tip. Sweeping Southern Ocean views — then turn back for the ferry.
KetteringEnd · Catch the return ferry to Kettering. The last sailing is early evening, so check the timetable before riding out to the lighthouse.
