9th Week - Wednesday - Bruny Island - Snug

Rained and blew a gale all night and was the coldest night yet. Found out when we got up that it had snowed on Mt Wellington (30km away by road).  We could actually see the snow.  This morning the sun peeped out.  We packed lunch and off to catch the ferry.  We had spoken to two couples who told us not to take the van over and one who said to (but this was after we had decided not to).   Boarded the ferry and were on to top deck.  Easy 15 minute journey.  Now on Bruny Island.  We headed to the topmost northern point first Dennes Point then to Killora Bay and the village of Killora.  Next was Barnes Bay before heading south to Adventure Bay.  This is where the cruises leave from but we were not doing this one.  We saw where Captain Cook landed.  We headed next to the most southern point of Bruny Island and the Cape Bruny Lighthouse which required a short walk up to get to it.  The scenery was lovely but not much different to Tassie itself.  Not sure if I would return here.  We had passed the caravan park and it looked okay but apart from a few walks around the place there wasn't much else we wanted to see or do so glad we didn't bring the van.  The ferry trip back was not as good as we were on the bottom deck in the middle and you couldn't see anything.  Back to the van for our last night at Snug.

Bit of snow on the higher peaks!
