Luggobine
Circuit
(moderate) 1.5 hours return
Labillardiere
Peninsula Walk
(demanding) complete circuit 7 hours return
Heathlands, exposed coastline, beaches and dry forests. Magnificent coastal
views.

The
track starts at the Jetty Beach campground and does a circuit around the
peninsula. The track can be walked in either direction but for unobscured
views of the magnificent coastline it is recommended commencing the walk
on the western side.
Once you have climbed Mt Bleak you will gain a view of Partridge Island,
which protects one of the largest populations of the endangered forty-spotted
pardalote. From Mt Bleak the track descends to Hopwood and Butlers
Beaches and from here it is about 2 1/2 - 3 hours walk through light
forest to finish at Jetty Beach. At Jetty Beach you can see the remains
of the first jetty on the island, constructed in 1860 to supply the
Cape Bruny Lighthouse.
