Bruny Island is a large island off the south-eastern coast of Tasmania, from which it is separated by the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. Storm Bay is located to the island's northeast. Its traditional Aboriginal name was Alonnah Lunawanna, which survives as the name of two island settlements.
Geologically, Bruny Island is actually comprised of two islands - North Bruny and South Bruny - that are joined by a long, narrow sandy isthmus. The holiday village of Dennes Point is located in North Bruny, while South Bruny is the site of the towns of Alonnah, Adventure Bay and Lunawanna.
Outside its settlements the island is covered in grazing fields and large tracts of dry eucalyptus forest. Inland forests continue to be logged, but other large sections - mostly along the southeastern coast - are preserved as the South Bruny National Park. While the seaward side of the island features two long beaches - Adventure Bay and Cloudy Bay - it is for the most part extremely rugged, with cliffs of dolerite that tower over 200 metres above sea level, and which are amongst the highest sea cliffs in Australia. Bruny's channel side is far more sheltered and a favourite fishing and recreational boating area for local and interstate visitors.

It's Premier Who?
A FORMER garbage collector, Nathan Rees, was elected Premier of NSW yesterday after Morris Iemma's once loyal backers turned on him and forced him to quit, leaving the little-known Mr Rees to declare: "I'll have a red-hot go."
How the Right turned on its own man
MORRIS IEMMA was beaming as he entered the caucus room at 12.40pm yesterday, flanked by his departing deputy, John Watkins.
First verse: mea culpa, blame Costa
NATHAN REES yesterday used his first public statement as the new Premier to guarantee that he would devote every "waking hour" to restoring faith in his beleaguered Government, admitting taxpayers had been left bitterly disappointed with Labor's efforts.
Breaking the Labor mould
The new Premier has touches of another Labor leader born and raised in Sydney's western suburbs, report Matthew Moore and Gerard Noonan.
State of chaos
Michael Costa was never going out with a whimper, but his big bang was soon overshadowed by a perfect storm, writes Andrew West.
