This young Goshawk was caught in some netting in Simpsons Bay, Bruny Island Tasmania. Luckily the hawk was easily freed from the netting & after a quick check he was deemed uninjured & set free. There really is some amazing bird life on Bruny Island, it is a popular spot for bird watchers from allover the world. </div>

</div> Dolphins are frequently spotted off the coast of Bruny Island you can see them jumping in the bay at Adventure Bay. They swim along next to local boats along the coast. I even know a man who's dog swims with the dolphins.<br />

A ferry runs regularly from the seaside village of Kettering to the Bruny Island ferry dock at Roberts Point. The ferry takes approx 10 to 15 minutes to cross the channel. The ferry transports cars, caravans & bicycles as well as walk on commuters. The ferry is occassionally flanked by dolphins that glide through the water thus the painting of the dolphin pod on the side of the vessel which is proudly named the Mirambeena.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g3bfTkEQuqE/Tpsmrcy_17I/AAAAAAAAA_I/hW-SYL4IxUY/s1600/bruny+island+ferry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g3bfTkEQuqE/Tpsmrcy_17I/AAAAAAAAA_I/hW-SYL4IxUY/s640/bruny+island+ferry.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">During the 1950's the ferry docked at Barnes Bay. The old vessel was named the Mangana in reference to Bruny Island's own beautiful Mangana mountain.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IBgd-MQv4ro/TpsntSTcIiI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/1oSntZr_r4U/s1600/%2522Mangana%2522+in+Barnes+Bay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="380" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IBgd-MQv4ro/TpsntSTcIiI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/1oSntZr_r4U/s640/%2522Mangana%2522+in+Barnes+Bay.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The newer Vessel the Mirambeena has all the mod cons, two motors, lights at night, toilet facilities, what appears to be hundreds of life jackets & an alarm system. The ferry is extremely safe & undergoes a regular service & inspection once a year. However small inconvenient mishaps have been known to happen & in one case the ability of the ferry to successfully dock was impaired & a cute little ship was employed to help the ferry into dock ( see picture below )</span><br />
