About 30k south of Hobart turn left at Kettering and you're at the Bruny Island Barge. $65 for the car and van return is pretty reasonable and at this time of the year they run continually. It's about a 30 minute ride.
We stayed at Adventure Bay on south Bruny in a van park. It's about a 40 minute drive from the ferry and is the place around which many activities revolve. The Fluted Cape Circuit walk is great, high, close to the edge, white wallabies can be seen in the area together with some ancient whaling station remains. Capt. Cook also landed here. They have the remains of the tree into which he carved his details in 1770.
The boat cruise from the Bay along the east coast down as far as the Briar Islands in the Southern Ocean is awesome.
We stayed 2 nights and could have been there for a week quite comfortably.
On the way off the island we did the Elizabeth Bay walk (about 3 hours) and stopped by a local cheese place for lunch.

An old whaling hut that has been taken over as a fisho's hut behind the dunes at Elizabeth Bay.
