They were painted by George Tobin, an artist aboard Captain Bligh’s ship HMS Providence, back in 1792, over a decade before British colonisation of Tasmania even began.
And remarkably, they’re still standing today, gnarled and weathered, roots gripping the same rocky soil they’ve called home for centuries.
The Nuenonne people called this island home for over 34,000 years, with a rich and enduring connection to both land and sea.
Archaeological traces found nearby, including evidence of bark shelters, are a powerful reminder that this place has always mattered, long before any sails appeared on the horizon.
Two Tree Point is one of those rare spots that doesn’t ask much of you, just pull into the small gravel car park near Resolution Creek and you’re basically there. A few steps and you’re standing on the rocky headland, with sweeping views across Adventure Bay stretching out in front of you.
On a calm day, the water below glows an almost unreal shade of turquoise. You’ll likely spot wallabies in the scrub and, if you’re lucky, a sea eagle circling overhead. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger.
While you’re in the area, a dip at nearby Hansson’s Beach is hard to pass up, it’s one of Bruny’s most photogenic stretches of sand. From there, you’re well placed to explore more of South Bruny National Park, whether that’s the dramatic clifftops at Fluted Cape, the Mavista Rainforest walk, or a slow drive through the island’s quiet backroads.
And if all that fresh air works up an appetite? You’re on Bruny Island, oysters, cheese, wine and whisky are never far away, check our Where to Eat and Drink Guide.
