Sometimes the best stops aren't planned
PLAN AHEAD
Island opening hours can change with the seasons, and some venues may close earlier or take days off during quieter periods. We recommend checking directly with each venue before setting out — and leaving a little flexibility for the unexpected stops you find along the way.
Part of the joy of exploring Bruny is what you find along the way — roadside honesty stalls, freshly baked bread, local produce and little surprises that make you pull over. Keep some cash handy, leave room in the car and don't rush the drive.
