Bruny Island

Bruny Island is in fact two islands joined by 'The'Neck' and reached from Kettering 40km south of Hobart. North Bruny has rolling hills that are farmed and South Bruny has more trees and steeper hills. The Neck is home to much bird life including penguins. The Aboriginal people who lived in this area belonged to the South East Tribe and were the 'Nuenonne' band.
