Bruny Island wildlife

Bruny Island

Bruny Island is a haven for rare and unique birds and animals, and is one of the best bird-watching spots in Australia, home to all 12 bird species endemic to Tasmania and a number of critically endangered species such as the Swift Parrot and the Forty-spotted Pardalote.

It's also a stronghold for the Eastern Quoll, and a colony of White wallabies inhabit the southern reaches of Bruny’s Adventure Bay.

Beneath the waves of Bruny island’s varied coastline, rocky reefs and sandy gulches provide home and habitat to extraordinary sea creatures from ‘Leatherjacket’ and ‘Flathead’ fishes, to Crayfish, Little Penguins and migratory whales.
