Over the last week the Bruny Island Charters and Tasman Island Cruises websites have been updated with a whole new look, heaps of new information and increased interactivity. For those of you who have been on the cruise, you can upload your photos into our Photo of the Month competition. Or simply take the opportunity to tell us what you thought of the cruise.

Feel free to add your comments about what you think of the site’s updated look and feel.

My latest website, this time for food writer Matthew Evans, went live last month.

Matthew is the author of Kitchen Basics, Never Eat Chicken on a Monday and The Weekend Cook. He is a former food critic and currently writes a column that appears in The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald every Saturday. You can also find him in Grazia magazine where he is the food editor.

The new website for the Captain Cook Caravan Park and Ol’Kid Fishing Charters has just been launched. If you are looking for cabin, caravan or camping accommodation on Bruny Island they offer modern facilities right on the beach-front at Adventure Bay.

A big congratulations to Bruny Island Charters who were last night named First Generation Family Business of the Year for Tasmania. Manager and Founder Robert Pennicott also won the Individual Entrepreneurial Award and a national nomination for the Jason Lea Award. The company will go on to compete for national awards later this year.

The website for Nick Haddow’s Bruny Island Cheese Company was launched today. The artisan cheese maker produces some of Australia’s finest boutique cheeses and their product is exported around the world. Twice nominated for Vogue / Audi Producer of the Year, the high quality cheese they produce is a reflection of Nick’s extensive experience and travels across the globe. Their Bruny Island cheesery also operates as an artisan bakery and cafe. Being only 15 minutes from the ferry be sure to stop in and visit next time you visit the island. Visit the Bruny Island Cheese Co website for more information.

My latest website, the official Bruny Island website has just been launched today. This website provides information on activities, attractions, food, wine, walks and all things Bruny Island. If you haven’t been to Bruny or haven’t visited the island in a while, check out the site now.

Any of you watching Channel 9’s Getaway program may have noticed a feature story on Tasman Island Cruises. This new Port Arthur Cruise has been getting a lot of media attention lately after the official opening by Tourism Minister, The Hon. Paula Wreidt MHA. I was lucky enough to go on the trip a fortnight ago and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Visit the website for more information on the Tasman Island Cruise at Port Arthur.

My latest site about Bruny Island is now live. This site contains information on accommodation and activities on Bruny Island including ferry times, weather, history, tours, walks, food and dining and accommodation bookings. Visit Bruny Island Holiday Retreats.

I just thought I’d let everyone know that the Kingston Joinery website has had its new interface updated. The website was initially launched in late August and has now had the gallery section of the website completed, and a new-look front page. The photos will make you want to phone up and order a new kitchen immediately!
