Bicheno

We stayed 2 nights at the Harvey Farm Lodge in Bicheno and planned our own itinerary. We slept well, went to places of interest and visited the lovely beaches in Bicheno. Just driving around in our hired car was a holiday in itself as we got to see sights that were new to us, especially our kids. Flowers in Tasmania, like those in Australia are unique. Here I have taken several shots of the Kangaroo paw flowers.

Bicheno - flowers in nature reserve and by the sea

















Bicheno


Bicheno is a small beach town that is about 2-hours by car from Hobart. The attraction around here is the lovely beaches with turquoise coloured waters from a distance, penquin watching and seafood. We stayed at Harvey Farm Lodge that was self-contained and clean. We had a glimpse of the sea from the ground floor. From the upper floor, you have a better view of the ocean and more luxurious accommodation. As it was summer the assortment of flowering plants in front of the lodge gave us an experience of having a mini botanical garden at our doorstep and we worked our cameras to the bone one morning when the weather was fine.
