About

​​This is a delightful, long and varied walk around the perimeter of the picturesque Labillardiere Peninsula on Bruny Island. It features constant coastal and mountain views, stretches of long sandy beach, and quiet sheltered bays. 

For those with less time you may like to have a look at either coast and retrace your steps, or take the smaller loop which is around 4.5km. Whatever track you choose, this delightful low-level walk gives walkers a good chance of seeing wildlife and colourful wildflowers, including orchids.​
