"The Neck", an isthmus connecting the two halves of Bruny Island, an island off the southeastern coast of Tasmania, from which it is separated by the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. Both the island and the channel are named after Frenchman Bruni d'Entrecasteaux, who explored the area in 1792. It was known as Bruni Island until 1918, when the spelling was changed to Bruny. The island is popular as a holiday location with surfing beaches, historical sites and South Bruny National Park. It is accessible only via the Bruny Island Ferry service.Photo credit: Noodle snacks
