The White Wallaby of Bruny Island

There is a special star attraction on Bruny Island – sounding a bit like a character from a Lord of the Rings movie, the “White Wallaby of Adventure Bay” is always one of the star attractions during my three day photography workshops there. These white ones are albino versions of regular brown/grey Tasmanian wallabies, and we even spotted an albino mum with her brown coloured joey in the pouch!

Apart from the White wallaby…

Bruny Island is a nature lovers paradise. Apart from encounters with the white wallaby, the island is particularly well known for bird watching. There are raptors such as goshawks and sea eagles, and any number of LBB’s (little brown birds) such as wrens, robins and pardalotes. The Bruny Island Cruise is also a great way to see and photograph marine wildlife and is included on my small group tours. Seals, dolphins and albatross are all possible!

Sunrise and Sunset

All my workshops include in the field tuition and opportunities to shoot at dusk and dawn when the light is at its best. There are many great spots for this, such as down near the Lighthouse and around Adventure Bay.
