We also went on the Fluted Cape Walk 🥾, one of the most stunning (and challenging) walks on Bruny Island.
Was it all value for money? Or did we bite off more than we bargained for? Join us as we uncover the truth about Bruny Island’s costs and whether it lives up to the hype!

What an adventure!! 😎🤙
Thank you 😊🙏🚐it certainly was 🤩
1:15 Now there's a smart chap, got to agree with him 100%.
Thank you 😊🚐🙏
Great video again guys but wow a bit of an information overload. You fitted a lot into this episode 😂
Some of the views were amazing especially the one of the water that was really blue. Have a great week guys and give little Pablo a hug from us ❤❤
Thank you Roger😊🚐🙏 , it was a full on three days and we still missed out a lot of things 😂but it was an exceptionally beautiful place 🤩
Hahaha loving the oyster avoidance! 😂 great ep guys! 👍
Thank you 😊🚐🙏
Good Afternoon Tim and Sandy
Good day to you kind sir 😊👋
You guys should come to the beautiful town oatlands I'm loving the content ❤
Thank you 😊🚐🙏we will try to fit it in to our travels 🚐🤩
Some yummy experiences
Thank you Deej 😊🚐🙏very much so 😋
Hi Sandy and Tim, I agree with Tim , Oysters are gross. I was asked to try many years ago and never again, I love Scallops. Tasmania is beautiful and has so much to offer, I think it's the best place in Australia. Never spend on alcohol as I do not drink the stuff, thankfully I have never had the desire nor missed that horrid experience.
Thank you Edith 😊🙏🚐oysters are an acquired taste 🤢
I think we paid $150 for a bottle of port in the Barossa Valley. But it was for a special occasion. Wine would be $120 to drink on my 60th. But that’s my limit!!
Thank you 🙏😊🚐Australia does have rather expensive alcohol compared to the rest of the world 🤦♂️
Never tried an oyster and I must admit just swallowing them I can understand how they are enjoyable
I’d be gagging lol 😂😂😂😂
Also we’re not whisky lovers ….
lol thank you stew 😊🙏🚐
I’m not much of a whiskey drinker, but I’ve tried a couple of Tassie ones. For me they’re not worth the price. There’s a bottle of Sullivan’s Cove on sale at my local Dan Murphy’s for $16,500 too. Yes, sixteen thousand five hundred oz dollars! It’s been there I believe since the store opened…
If you ask me, the wines produced here are way better and usually reasonably priced. Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir in particular. Around $20 will get you a nice one.
I’m with Tim as far as oysters go! Put Tassie scallops in front of me and I’ll devour them, but something just seems wrong about oysters…
Thank you 🙏🚐😊yep the tax in Australia for alcohol is over the top , when we were in Japan whiskey was $10 a litre 🤦♂️that’s one super expensive bottle of drink 😳
thanks guys, I'm with you Tim on natural oysters, yuk, but I do like oysters Kilpatrick, you should try them, be daring and adventurous on Adventure Bay. The chocolate shop looks amazing! $450 for a bottle of Whiskey is way overpriced, lucky I don't drink it, Give me a bottle of Baileys any day. Cheers
Thank you June 😊🚐🙏the chocolates went down very well , it’s amazing how much they tax alcohol in Australia , in Japan it was $10 for a litre of whiskey 🤷♂️
I hope you made it to the Honey Pot 😀
Thank you 😊🙏🚐 unfortunately we didn’t have time but I’m sure we’ll be back 🐝🚐
We are travelling to Tassie in March, hiring a campervan, and Bruny Island is on our itinerary.
I am particularly interested in bird photography and we are both into art. How does Bruny stack up for those interests?
Thank you 😊🚐🙏not to sure about the art aspect but there is an abundance of wildlife especially birds to photograph on Bruny 😊
I'm like Tim. Not going to eat them. I did go through stage of liking scallops as child, but once I got a bad one, it was game over. I hope Tim survive the bedroom that night... On alcohol, i cry when seeing priced in Russia, Spain, etc. We are taxed to near death.
Thank you Jimmy 😊🚐🙏yep seafood is an acquired taste , yep when we were in Japan whiskey was $10 a litre 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Can I ask where you camped on Bruny or is it secret 🤫🤗
There are a couple of free camps on Bruny , but people also camp at adventure bay in the beach carpark as they don’t have any camping prohibited signs, we stealth camped on the street there as the whole island shuts down after the last ferry at 18:20 and becomes very quiet🚐😊🤫
Whiskey and oysters yum
Hi guys, did you stay there? The night? Is there any free camping there? I used to make oysters Kilpatrick when I was a chef.
We did stay in Bruny, but we stealthed there... they do have a couple of parks there - but were a little pricey for what we needed :)
Beer cheese and oysters. TIM
lol thanks Mike 😂hard no on oysters all day long 🤢
Tim I get your aversion to slimy oysters, yuck 🤮. My better half convinced me to try one, some 30 years ago. I gagged on it going down, grooooossssss! Took a drink to wash it down and threw up all over my spouse. Never again! 🤮
Thank you Deej 😊🚐🙏they’re disgusting 🤢
agree with Tim EWWW oysters. I have spent $150 on whiskey though:)
Yeah I think thats reasonable.... $550 though.. i was shocked haha
lucky we don't have smellavision. thanks pablo
Thank you 😊🚐🙏lol🐕
Chocolate oysters Tim
lol 😂nope 🤢
I’m with you Tim. Oysters 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮
Thank you 😊🙏🚐lol
$80 for a litre
yeah shocking right LOL I wanted to have a taste but not knowing they were so pricey...
Tim oysters are gods food love them so much come on you can do it.
