Truganini Lookout and Penguin Watching
A must-visit on Bruny Island, The Neck has breathtaking views of the middle of the Bruny isthmus following walking up a series of steps. Sometimes you will see those little penguins’ footprints in the morning. It’s best to visit on a nice clear day or after sunset for penguin watching. There is a penguin lookout point near the beach. The beach on The Neck is spectacular with clear blue water and is ideal for a leisurely walk.
It’s an inactive lighthouse located in the South Bruny National Park, about (26.4 km) 35–40 minutes drive from Alonnah. Cape Bruny Lighthouse is the second oldest extant lighthouse tower in Australia. A setting that features a panoramic landscape overseeing the imposing sea cliffs, experience the 360° view of the day and the enchanting dusk. There is no need to pre-book the lighthouse tour.
The fee to enter the top of the lighthouse is around $15/person.
For wildlife and bird enthusiasts, this is the place. Enjoy bird watching and wildlife tours at the 5 acres of Jurassic Garden and the Nature Museum with specialist guides that know both the flora and fauna of Tasmania. They offer day or night tours to see penguins, possums, and other wildlife.
