Bicheno, Tasmania

We flew from Melbourne to Hobart, Tasmania, where we picked up a car, this time a Hyundai i20, and carried on to a little coastal town called Bicheno. We have been here just over a week and have had a wonderfully relaxing time. Here are some of the highlights of our week:

 
Daily walks . . .



. . . on deserted Denison Beach.



We hiked over a mountain saddle to Wineglass Bay.
 
 
 
We went to the Bay of Fires and found red lichen on the rocks and beautiful white beaches.



We went to nearby Natureworld to see the infamous Tasmanian devils.
This one is feeding on wallaby, bone and all.


 
After dark we went on the Fairy Penguin tour. These guys are the smallest penguins in the world.
They come ashore at night to feed the babies waiting patiently in the nests.
CUTE!!!!

 
 
Every picture tells a story!
 

 

Tomorrow we drive to Launceston on the northern coast, then on to Stanley in the north west corner of the island for Christmas week.
