BRUNY
ISLAND CHARTERS
'
The
Albatross' is a brand new, custom built, 44 foot, highly manoeuvrable
eco-cruiser, designed to maximise the close interaction between you and the
stunning coast line, with its diverse wildlife, in speed, safety and comfort
(fitted with all amenities). Your highly qualified skipper, Robert, has a
lifetime of experience on the sea. Together with his knowledgeable and
friendly crew, Robert guarantees you a quality interpretation of nature's
wonders every moment of this exhilarating journey.
Where is Bruny Island
Bruny Island lies off the south east coast of Tasmania, some 25 kilometers
south of Hobart. It is linked to mainland Tasmania by the vehicular ferry 'Mirambeena'.
The island is an un spoilt haven with spectacular scenery and a landscape
which varies from pasture to rain forest. It has glorious miles of sandy
beaches and rugged cliffs.
View beautiful remote bays, drift within meters of the mysterious
breathing rock, the massive secret caves and sculptured rocky islands that
fringe South Bruny's National Park.
Share the excitement of early explorers Tasman, Furneaux, Flinders,
D'Entrecasteaux, Cook and Bligh of a most dramatic, magnificent coastline,
unchanged for thousands of years.
Visit the Friar Rocks, home to over 1000 curious Australian Fur Seals, see
the antics of playful Dolphins, Fairy Penguins, White Bellied Sea Eagles,
Shy Albatrosses, Australasian Gannets, Black-faced and Great Cormorants,
Silver, Kelp and Pacific Gulls, Short Tailed and Sooty Shearwaters, Terns,
Sooty and Pied Oystercatchers as they hunt in these abundant waters. See
rare nest sites, home of White Bellied Sea Eagles and Peregrine Falcons. You
may even observe the migrating Southern Right or Humpback Whales.
When you return to shore you will take unique memories of being one of the privileged few to have experienced nature at its unspoilt best.
