[…] offshore from mainland Australia when you get to Tasmania, so why not keep going offshore to the amazing Bruny Island? Catch the ferry across the D’Entrecasteax Channel from Kettering, just a few kilometres […]

When the rock is conglomerate, the softer parts erode first, Mira! Or so my limited geological knowledge tells me 😀

Great post !
Why would eroding coastlines create caves? Wouldn’t the whole coastline erode, not just holes? More likely, eroding coast lines exposed the caves!
Great thanks for this wonderful post !

Maybe we should set up a support group for failed dolphin photographers, Dennis!! It’s mind-blowing that Bruny is the same size as Singapore (according to the info I read) – it’s hard to imagine 6 million people on it! Hope you make it to Tassie one day, it really is worth the effort!!

It’s ALL worth a visit, Neha! I thought I’d get sea-sick as well, but I was too busy looking at the amazing scenery and wildlife!

Interesting and VERY funny story! I also never manage to capture dolphins during such expeditions, like the pink dolphins we have in Hong Kong… I had actually never heard of Bruny Island before, is it really the size of Singapore? I would, however, like to go to Tasmania one day (for at least 10 days as well) and will keep Bruny Island on my bucket list for when that day comes. Thanks for this eye-opener!

I am not sure if i would be able to take that boat ride without getting sea sick. But I really like the fact that you not only made it there but also liked the place. The monument is totally worth a visit.

I’m so lucky I don’t get seasick – the only thing making me nauseous was our boiler suits, haha! There might be days when it’s calm, but not too many I don’t think 😀

I felt nauseous just reading the descriptions of your boat ride. I’m unfortunately one that suffers from seasickness a wee bit too often, so not sure if I’d survive this tour, which truly sucks, cuz it sounds INCREDIBLE. Isn’t it wonderful when you take a tour and it more than delivers?

In reply to Tami.

Glad you enjoyed it, Tami – but there’s nothing like the real thing!! It’ll be interesting to see if I really DO like it just as much the 2nd time around, haha!
