Hydrangeas on the grounds of Cataract Gorge

From Bicheno, we moved on to Launceston, the northern gateway to Tasmania by air. From Launceston, we visited places of interest in the area and one of them was Cataract Gorge.

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.
