Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The Neck Lookout offers an awesome view of the island’s northern and southern sections. Burrows of mutton birds and fairy penguins can be seen throughout the area.

    Shane gave us a comprehensive outline of the history of the lighthouse and surrounding area. Well worth the price of admission. The views were spectacular

    Unfortunately, the raspberries were not in season yet and we could only taste some homemade ice cream sandwich made with egg and some frozen raspberries.

    Great extensive views from here, and obviously a good spot to find wildlife at dusk and the evening light.

    Beautiful beach to enjoy the scenery. A famous painting was done of the area in 1792 by George Tobin, the Principal Artist on Capt. Bligh's visit.

    Rough, muddy road with only brief views, but some nice birdlife about and we managed to spot an Echidna by the side of the road.

    Away from the crowds, this was a pleasant place to take a walk supplied with information about the history of the area. The walk wasn't at all difficult and was easy to follow.

    Can either climb what feels like 200 hundred stairs or take the boardwalk to enjoy the views.
    Great free look out experience for all the family. You can take the board walk to the beach a beautiful naural wonder of Bruny Island.

    We stumbled across this sculpture on the shores of Adventure Bay when we stopped to have a look at the beach.

    The sculpture, which was unveiled in 2005, is by the late Matthew Carney who I have read was a local resident.

    The sculpture depicts a sperm whale with its calf inside a world globe and seeks to acknowledge "the symbolic relationship that we have with other inhabitants of Earth".

    Opposite the Captain Cook Holiday park, this small beachside carpark has a dedication to Captain Tobias Furneaux & Captain James Cook who discovered this bay in March of 1773

    Nice little stop along our way to Adventure Bay.

    Jus a roadside stop, no rest rooms. But nice enough views of the Coal Bay.

    There is a board telling you a bit about the history of the area.

    Our map of Bruny Island highlighted in large letters "CAPTAIN COOK'S LANDING PLACE", and being very interested in history, we drove up the road looking for the site, and drove down the road looking for it, drove up the road and down the road again, and eventually sited the memorial to the tree. We found a place to park, and there was nothing there to acknowledge the site of the landing. There is no sign of the memorial that people photographed in July 2021 - why is this so????
