• Bruny island day two sightseeing

    March 25, 2019 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 11 °C

    Well the weather has deteriorated from yesterday, it was very windy overnight which had me a little concerned as we are so close to the waters edge, I got up during the night to lay the solar panels flat on the ground so that they didn’t get blown over and broken.
    Anyway we still had some sights to see so first we went to the Quarantine station which is located on the next block from where we are staying, we only drove in and out as it was mainly sites where the building used to be and the history we have read about on the website.
    Then onto Barnes bay which is where the original ferry terminal was situated before they moved to the deeper site they now use, there are some lovely sheltered bays on Bruny a boat owners paradise I would think. We then toured the island until we got the Mapel’s look out which is just short of the lighthouse. Then we went to cloudy bay where the sea was pretty rough but the wind surfers seemed to be enjoying it. From there we travelled along either fire or logging tracks through they forest until we came out at adventure bay then headed back to the caravan.
