02.02 Tas: Bicheno

From the Bay of Fires we headed further south to Bicheno, where we would be camping for the night.

One of the many sightings of native wildlife! We saw about three Echidna's just on this day alone! However, there is an awful lot of roadkill, so much more than on our massive journey from Melbourne to Adelaide & Sydney and back again!

Bicheno is a really nice little town with a small harbour.

Relaxing down after a long day's drive, enjoying a nice cup of tea from the thermos!! Our tent pitch for the night was at Bicheno East Coast Caravan Park, which was very conveniently placed for the town and the beach! The camp kitchen was a converted garage and contained everything that we needed!

02.02 Tas: Bay of Fires

From Launceston we drove to St Helens' and turned off to the Bay of Fires. Here we found the most amazing white sandy beaches and coves!

02.02 Tas: Launceston - Cataract Gorge

The start of a full on day travelling around the northeast side of Tasmania.

After leaving the ferry the night before we headed to a campsite in Deloraine. It was our first night sleeping in the Magna! We stayed at the Deloraine Apex Caravan Park - a very basic site, situated next to a nice little river and also a railway line that has freight trains running down it in the middle of the night!!

After breakfast in Launceston we went to Cataract Gorge, which is a short walk/drive from the city centre. They have the longest single span chairlift, and some nice walks around the First Basin.
