Alonnah views on Bruny Island Tasmania


Here is a stunning spring view from Alonnah Bruny Island. Looking out across the blue waters you can see satellite Island which sits off the coast of Bruny Island. Satellite Island is a perfect example of Australia's Island formation, it is an island off an island off an island off an island.


A beautiful sunset sky over Alonnah Bruny Island. A small twinkling light can be seen in the distance emanating from satellite Island.


Beach combing on Alonnah beach is a great way to spend an afternoon. Alonnah beach is scattered with seashells & is nice & shallow if you would like to go wading, the shallow waters make it a safe beach option for small children & there is a playground by the beach.

Kookaburra, Echidna and Other Animals of Bruny Island Tasmania



This kookaburra was spotted sitting in a gum tree at a local Bruny Island park




This echidna was seen wandering about in Simpsons Bay Bruny Island.




My dear cat SNUFFY was a little curious when he spotted this Echidna in the front yard. He kept his distance though. Like all clever Tasmanian cats he knew that Bruny Island echidnas are full of spikes & are very very prickly.




There are so many wallabies & kangaroos sneaking into our garden in Simpsons Bay Bruny Island that we have to fence off the vegetable patch or they munch on our produce.


These two seagulls are just hanging about at Adventure Bay, they seem to be having some kind of dispute as the one on the right appears to be sticking out his tongue at his fellow bird.


These two wild Bruny ducks have definitely got each others back.

The Bottom of the Garden on Bruny Island Tasmania

Bruny Island like the rest of Tasmania is not only beautiful but full of surprises. Today I wanted to share with you some snap shots from Bruny Island Gardens. These gardens are nothing like a small suburban yard!


This is a delightful boat house on a private pond, perfect for picnics. This photograph was taken on a stunning Bruny Island property called HIBA.

Winter on Bruny Island Tasmania


Bruny Island in winter is absolutely stunning. The colours of the island transform into varied winter hues. Bruny is unique in that it changes so beautifully with the seasons. You should see Bruny Island at least once during every one of the four seasons.
Bruny Island is a unique & exotic piece of Tasmania.



In the winter time when you just want something fresh to look at, Bruny Island is a true sight for sore eyes.

Bruny Island the Lush Season

Boating on Bruny Island is popular all year. The above photo was taken from the Roberts Point ferry terminal as the season was turning from summer to autumn.
The water was clear & reflective of the blue sky that day at Roberts point ferry terminal Bruny Island.
I love this little fenced in garden. The garden is planted atop a very steep slope behind the Roberts point kiosk & coffee shop.
The greenery is plentiful all through the year on Bruny Island but Winter brings everything to life. My favorite time on Bruny is winter because I love new life.
Everything is so fascinating if you take the time to look a little closer.
