The Aboriginal People of
Bruny Island

Bruny Island was originally inhabited
by the Aboriginal Tasmanians. Truganini (sitting right in above photograph) was of the Nuenonne Tribe from Bruny Island. She is commonly described as the last Aboriginal Tasmanian but there is  still a large community of people who identify as Aboriginal and have a special connection with their Country.
They call the island

Lunawanna and Alonnah, and most of the island's landmarks are named after the Nuenonne people...

Read the Parks and Wildlife Penguin viewing guidelines

Tasmania is fortunate in having several penguin rookeries along the coast where penguins can be easily observed. These guidelines are intended to both protect penguins and to allow you to see them under natural conditions. Please be sure you are familiar with them before visiting a penguin colony. Left to themselves, penguins will start to leave the water at last light so that they are under the

Penguins

All you need is a free evening and a sturdy pair of shoes. Enjoy the penguins coming home at the Bruny Island Neck penguin viewing platform.
