• Summary
• Weather for Adventure Bay

Adventure Bay is located on the eastern side of Bruny Island, and has a population of just under 200 people. The island itself is just a 35 minute drive from Hobart and a 20 minute ferry ride from Kettering.

During the early 1800s Adventure bay was the site of a whaling station and more recently was the centre for the local timber and logging industry. These days Adventure Bay enjoys a more relaxed pace of life with the biggest industry being tourism.

Nature walks from Adventure Bay include the coastal track to Penguin Island and Fluted Cape. An unsealed road links Lunawanna and Adventure Bay, giving wide, stunning south-westerly views. A wide range of wildlife is visible including white wallabies, pademelons, echidna and wombats.
