25.01.2022 Taking in the scenic views of Bruny Island from the Neck Lookout. A must-do when visiting the island, the lookout is located at the narrow isthmus that connects north and south of Bruny. The Neck Lookout, Bruny Island : https://www.instagram.com/_photosbyshan_/

25.01.2022 Ferry Service Update: Hi Folks, we have an improved weather window and we will be shuttling (moving as many vehicles and passengers safely) during this window. ...The period of operation cannot be guaranteed as there is a returning spike of extreme weather around 4pm this afternoon, which may see a further delay to services. However, we will operate when conditions allow. If necessary and weather permitting we will run later than scheduled services to accommodate any volume of traffic already checked in at both terminals. As always our priority is the safety of our passengers, crew and vessels. Thank you for your patience. Kind regards, the SeaLink team See more

19.01.2022 Splish splash I was taking a bath how was I to know there was a bird tour going on?! One of the highlights from this weekend’s free guided tour at Inala Natur...e Tours was catching sight of this swiftie taking a dip in the Inala creek. This beautiful parrot species is critically endangered and, to ensure its survival, it is essential to conserve mature eucalypt dominated forests and woodlands both for food resources and for the formation of suitable nesting hollows. It looks like they might be partial to a nice bit of creek frontage too! This event was supported by NRM South through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program. See more

11.01.2022 We have two wee Pademelons in care at present of a very similar age which means they have bonded and keep each other company. Viktor is younger but more confide...nt, he arrived with us in May as the result of a dog attack on his mum. Rhett joined us last week and is named after his rescuer who found him hopping on the road beside his mum who had been killed by a car. He has an injured tail and is more wary than Viktor, but he is doing great. They now eat together, sleep together and play fight together. In spring, they shall be released into the wild together.

10.01.2022 In 1943 Captain Miley began running the Gayclite between Dennes Point and Snug Jetty. This was soon changed to Tinderbox. Buses met the ferry at both terminii. ...In 1947 the route was taken over by Geoff and Ken Woolley. The Gayclite was sold after the vehicular ferry began running. It is now known as the Huon Islander. In that time the Woolleys travelled 90,000 miles and carried 100,000 people Her fastest crossing was 6 minutes, her longest, 2 hours. Their mother, Mrs (or Nurse) Shaw did on occasion have to go down to the jetty on a dark night with a lantern to guide them in. Ken went on to become an engineer on the Melba and Mangana. Geoff also took over the luggage run, but he only carried luggage as he said the horse had enough to do without carrying people. Ferry passengers had to walk. In September 1950 T Murphy had the passenger bus service between Lunawanna and Dennes Point with connecting links between Simpsons Bay, Adventure Bay and Barnes Bay. It connected with the passenger ferry from Dennes Point and was met by bus from Tinderbox. In May 1952 Ken was fortunate that he did not lose his foot after his shoe laces dropped through the propeller shaft casing and engaged the whirling shaft. His foot and leg were dragged onto the shaft and when he attempted to extricate himself his hand also caught. He was taken to Tinderbox and then to hospital in a police car. Vi Woolley used to have a hot urn of coffee waiting at the jetty on a Friday night for those coming off the steamer from Hobart. It was very welcome and used to coast sixpence a mug. Most people who used the ferry had a story, whether it was the running jump to catch her as she left the jetty or the midnight trip to take a sick passenger across.

08.01.2022 Taken a few months ago, this Swift parrot seems to be not happy about this bath time photo. Sorry, but you are one of my favourite birds. They are a plucky bird... that flies to Tasmania to breed from mainland Oz. Because of this and habitat destruction by those that log old growth native forests, they are critically endangered.

06.01.2022 On March 21 1903, the Mercury reported that W J Lindsay of Lyndenne, Barnes Bay had just returned from Port Davey and brought back with him a "curiosity" in the... shape of a white badger. "It was about half grown and weighed nearly 39 lbs. He said, "It was very savage at first but now it follows me about and feeds on grass and things very contentedly.....On one or two previous occasions I had seen a white badger on or near the same spot and concluded that there must be a small colony of them there so this time I set out to capture one....There is no difference between the appearance of this one and the ordinary grey badger except for colour. No doubt the Curator would like him for our museum but he will have to wait til the end of the badgers days, then Ill consider the question of parting with his skin." No one ended up with the badger as he escaped from Barnes Bay and was never found although there are some old stories of sightings of a white wombat. See more
