South Bruny National Park

South Bruny National Park extends along the southern coast of Bruny Island, featuring dolerite cliffs, eucalypt forests, and long sandy beaches spanning 50.59 square kilometers.

The park, established in 1919, includes the Cape Bruny Lighthouse from 1838, marking the second oldest lighthouse structure in Australia.

The Nuenonne Aboriginal people maintained connections to this land, leaving evidence through middens and artifact scatters found throughout the coastal areas.

Visitors reach the park via a vehicle ferry from Kettering, with multiple walking trails, camping areas, and designated lookout points providing access to key locations.

The park houses rare white Bennett's wallabies and serves as a critical habitat for endangered species like the forty-spotted pardalote and chestnut leek orchid.
