What to expect
You'll start with a ferry crossing to Bruny Island, where you'll stop to taste honey and oysters from producers who work the island. Back on the mainland, the Margate Train station offers a quirky detour—a vintage locomotive hub where you can wander boutiques and soak in its character. Lunch is at your discretion here, with time to eat and browse. Merediths Orchard comes next, where you can pick up fresh local produce. Throughout, the pace is unhurried; your guide responds to the group's interests rather than sticking rigidly to timings. Expect walking on uneven ground at times.
