Cape Bruny Lighthouse

An unexpected, lovely week spent caretaking the lighthouse at Cape Bruny, at the south end of Bruny Island was a chance to slow down.  We watched Wedge-tailed Eagles soaring overhead looking for prey while the New Holland Honeyeaters would constantly flit from the coastal scrub and provide a chorus to our sojourn.
