South Bruny National Park 

0 reviews | Write a review

South Bruny National Park lies at the southern tip of Bruny Island off the southeast coast of Tasmania. The park encompasses all of the coastline and some of the hinterland between Fluted Cape and the southern part of Great Taylors Bay. South Bruny National Park was gazetted in 1997 mainly for its wonderful coastal scenery.

  • The coastline consists of cliffs and headlands broken up by the beaches of Cloudy Bay.
  • Most of the park is comprised of Jurassic dolerite, forming the dramatic sea cliffs in the park. Another interesting geological feature is the mid-bay spit, one of only four in Tasmania, that separates Cloudy Bay from Cloudy Bay Lagoon.

Flora & Fauna Much of the coast is comprised of towering cliffs, mutton-bird rookeries, gardens of kelp seaweed and long sandy beaches. In some areas the park extends several kilometres back from the coastline, where lush rainforest may be found containing plants unique to Tasmania.

The surrounding marine environment is home to seals and whales. Most animals in the park are nocturnal, however short-beaked echidnas are active in daytime. In the evening brush tail possums, Tasmanian pademelons and Bennetts wallabies are often seen.
