I love living on Bruny Island.
Bruny has a huge diversity of ecotones. The ecotonal variation in such a small place is rare.
It has stretches of dry sclerophyll forest.
It has extraordinary remnant tracts of cool temperate rainforest.
Its coastline is incredible, with wide open ocean-facing beaches, with exquisite channel beaches. With rocky gulches and headlands.
It is just magical being here. Its like the last vestiges of how Australia would have been prior to modern development and its associated impacts on the ecology of Australia's landscapes.
Bruny Island's isolation has preserved and fostered endemism - plants and animals that are restricted to a region and can be found nowhere else on Earth.
Bruny Island has a small close-knit community with a great love of this place, the people here are wonderful.
Bruny Island has all of the aspects of intact ecology that mainland Australia doesn't have, and more. Its like a portal into a lost world.
