Could Bruny Island be Australia’s foodiest island?
The picturesque 362 square kilometre island south of Hobart punches well above its weight when it comes to artisan producers.
With one main road from the ferry to the town of Alonnah, you can’t miss the highlights: slurp ocean-fresh oysters at Get Shucked; battle the crowds for samples at Bruny Island Cheese & Beer Co.; and pick up a warm sourdough from Bruny Baker’s roadside honesty “fridge”. Hotel Bruny – the island’s only pub – does craft beers and burgers. Bruny is also a place known for top-quality honey, chocolate and berries – and wine and spirit lovers are also spoilt for choice with Bruny Island House of Whisky, Bruny Island Premium Wines (incorporating J Dillon & Sons Cider) and Spirit of Bruny microdistillery.
An easy day trip from Hobart – catching the ferry at Kettering makes it feel like a proper adventure – Bruny has cemented a name for itself as a go-to foodie getaway for both locals and tourists. And while cruising around Bruny at your own pace is part of the fun, you can also outsource the driving with Pennicott Wilderness Journeys’ producer-focused Bruny Island Traveller tour, which includes lunch overlooking Adventure Bay.
