Bruny Island

Sunday, Feb. 22

A quick tour around the southern end of Bruny Is.
Alonnah Jetty
D'entreCastreaux Channel from Alonnah Jetty

Adventure Bay has a history of visits from many famous sea farers including Cook, D'entreCastreaux, Tasman, Bligh just to name a few. We visited the local museum and learnt lots about the bay and visited Cooks landing sight and the place where a tree was plaque’d with the names of Cook’s crew. Since lost through fire and theft. The trees at Two Tree Point were standing when Cook landed.

We then stopped at the Hot House Restarunt for lunch with fantastic views up the D'entreCastreaux all the way to Mount Wellington/Hobart.
