South Bruny National Park

South Bruny National Park occupies the southern section of Bruny Island off southeastern Tasmania, within the Kingborough municipality. Established in 1997, it protects rugged coastal cliffs, sandy beaches including Cloudy Bay, heathlands and eucalypt forests. The park is notable for the historic Cape Bruny Lighthouse, dramatic Fluted Cape dolerite cliffs, diverse birdlife including the forty-spotted pardalote, and extensive walking tracks offering coastal scenery and wilderness experiences accessible via ferry from Kettering.

Visitors can expect a remote coastal wilderness on southern Bruny Island with dramatic dolerite sea cliffs, long sandy beaches, heathland and forest. The park offers marked walking tracks ranging from short beach walks to steep cliff-top hikes, lookouts over Cloudy Bay and the Southern Ocean, the historic Cape Bruny Lighthouse precinct with guided tours, basic campgrounds, picnic areas and abundant birdlife. Facilities are limited and the environment is largely natural and exposed.
