South Bruny National Park

South Bruny National Park is a must-visit destination located on Bruny Island, 50 km south of Hobart, Tasmania's capital.

The stunning national park, with an area of 3,387 hectares, encompasses the Labillardiere Peninsula, named in honor of the French botanist Jacques Labillardière, author of Australia's first general flora, and the Cape Bruny Lighthouse. The park has a rich history, with the Nuenonne people once occupying South Bruny, and several cultural sites around the national park are protected and publicized.

South Bruny National Park possesses plant life of high conservation value due to the presence of species endemic to the island that are not protected by reserves or parks elsewhere in Tasmania. The park's vegetation is dominated by dry sclerophyll communities such as eucalypt woodland, as well as heathland, and coastal communities. The national park also has rare, endemic orchid species, including the endangered chestnut leek orchid (Prasophyllum castaneum) and the pretty leek orchid (Prasophyllum pulchellum). Other rare species of heath include juniper wattle (Acacia ulicifolia), variable smoke bush (Conospermum hookeri), and the yellow onion orchid (Microtis atrata).

The park hosts a variety of fauna, including the Bennett's wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus), common brush tail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula), Tasmanian pademelon (Thylogale billardierii), and the Eastern Quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus). The island is free of common wombats (Vomb
