POSTCARDS TO THE FUTURE : BRUNY 2044

From Bruny, With Hope - vision of tomorrow, imagined by the island community.

From Bruny, With Hope - A glimpse into the island’s future, shaped by its people.

together we shape tomorrow

Fast forward 20 years: "Bruny Island is a thriving, world-leading regenerative destination — a living place where community and environment flourish together. Tourism plays a pivotal role in supporting local livelihoods, safeguarding wildlife and ecosystems, and nurturing a deep connection to place — where the wellbeing of both locals and visitors is celebrated in harmony."

the concept

We’re inviting Bruny Island locals - and anyone who loves the island - to explore their vision for the future through the Postcards to the Future Competition, which invites you to imagine Bruny Island 20 years from now in 2044. We ask you to share your vision for a thriving, sustainable future in the form of a postcard. 


On the front, draw how you see the island flourishing—its community, environment, and visitors working together in harmony. On the back, write a heartfelt message to the future, sharing your hopes and dreams for Bruny’s people, wildlife, and unique way of life. Together, let’s inspire ideas and solutions that protect what makes Bruny so special while creating a brighter tomorrow.

why get involved

Tourism has shaped Bruny Island in many ways, and this competition is part of a larger project exploring how tourism can continue to support the island’s unique environment, community, and way of life.


*Your postcards will contribute to important conversations about Bruny’s future and be shared with community leaders, businesses, and council to guide sustainable tourism and development.

    Winners will be featured in a community exhibit and online gallery showcasing visions for Bruny’s future.

    Place Is a Living Story

    Place is more than a location — it's a living weave of memory, meaning, and belonging.
    It holds the footsteps of those who came before, the rhythms of the land itself, and the quiet stories etched into wind, water, and stone.


    To connect with place is to enter a relationship — one that stretches backward through ancestral roots and forward into future care.


    It’s where our lives intertwine with the land, not just as visitors, but as part of its unfolding story.

    We acknowledge the traditional custodians of Lunawanna-alonnah − the Nuenonne (pronounced "Nyu-no-ni") people who walked upon and cared for this island and its waterways for over 40,000 years. We pay our respects to Lutruwita and all Tasmanian Aboriginals; all of whom have survived invasion and dispossession, and continue to maintain their identity and culture.
