Salamanca to Bruny Island ferry terminal
75kms return, not counting any travel on the island. Fuel at Sandy Bay, Kingston, Margate and Kettering. Ferry info and Bruny Island info: https://www.sealinkbrunyisland.com.au/ The only fuel supply on the island is at the Adventure Bay general store. The main roads are mostly sealed (according to the satellite view on Google Earth, they have now sealed all along the Neck, which used to be gravel) but the roads south of Alonnah are patchy, and the road to the lighthouse is rough. The only pub on the island is at Alonnah but there are various places to eat.
