The Bruny Baker is a cute little roadside stall on Bruny Island offering freshly baked sourdough. John fires his brick oven daily and stores all his bread in a couple of old fridges. You never really know what you’re going to get but generally there is a good selection of wood-fired sourdough breads. It’s an honesty system so have some coins handy and grab a loaf.
