The Neck Campground sits on the isthmus connecting north and south Bruny Island in southern Tasmania, about 40 kilometres from Hobart.

The narrow strip of land offers 360-degree coastal views and lies just 20 metres from the beach, with car parking, picnic facilities, and toilets on site. The surrounding area is a significant wildlife habitat.

Boardwalks and viewing platforms provide close-up views of short-tailed shearwaters and little penguins returning to their sand-dune burrows at dusk.

The best time to witness this spectacle is during the warmer months, September through February, when penguins wade ashore in tight groups and shearwaters sweep in from the sea.
