It’s onwards and upwards from there, quite literally, climb 279 stairs to reach the top of Truganini Lookout where you’ll be met with magnificent 360 degree views of The Neck; a thin sliver of land that connects North and South Bruny. Learn about local history at Two Tree Point before relaxing for lunch at Adventure Bay, a sheltered stretch of white sand and blue waves, giant eucalyptus standing proud along the shore.
