First stop Hobart tourist information centre to organise accommodation for tonight in Bicheno (pronounced Bish-eno). Then we drive Northwards along the East coast to Frysnet National Park to test out some of the walks. It’s a lovely warm day with a stiff breeze, good walking conditions.We set off for Wineglass Bay which if you do a walk there and back is 300 steps up from the beach so I’m glad we have decided to do a circular, albeit, longer route. The first part of the walk is busy with a lot of non serious walkers going only as far as the first viewing point, after that the path becomes quieter. Wineglass bay is another stunning white sand beach with crystal clear azure blue water, although somewhat colder than the Gold Coast waters. Onwards through the rainforest, there is a wonderful perfume in the air from the shrub blossom. Hazards Beach is another beautiful beach but with a lot of seaweed so not quite so inviting. We walk along the beach before turning back inland and across the rocks and back to the car park. A 4.5 hour walk. Back at the car park is a wallaby just out for his evening feed.
At Bicheno we eat at Rose’s Cafe and Restaurant, a good meal finished with a platter of Tasmanian cheeses – scrumptious.
Love and full tummies
