Bruny Island has a population of around 620 and is deceptively large, being about 100 kilometres in length. Bruny is made up of a North and South Island which are separated by a narrow isthmus, "the neck". North Bruny Island, drier than the south, is made up largely of open pastures and light bushland, whilst South Bruny is hilly, heavily timbered and includes large rainforest areas. At the far south of the Island is the Famous Cape Bruny Lighthouse overlooking some of the highest sea cliffs in the southern hemisphere.
