At the mouth of Macquarie Harbour in Tasmania, Bonnet Island is a small, secluded isle that only opened to tourists in 2009. Historically, it served as a remote outpost for lighthouse keepers and their families, who lived in the rugged, windswept conditions. Today, visitors can explore this relatively undiscovered location, experiencing the same tranquil and isolated atmosphere that once defined the lives of its former residents.
