Bicheno to Launceston

We spent a couple of days in the Bicheno area which is on the east coast. Bicheno was a very sleepy town and the shoreline was covered in very rocky beaches, not much sand. The rocks are stunny with a red ochre colouring with some of the red / orange (maybe all of it) made up of a lichen / mossy plant.

We were surprised at how calm the ocean was, not really anything you'd call a swell. The last morning when we left there were some decent waves rolling in but before that nothing.

We drove up to St Helens and saw a great historical display of old motorbikes, there was even a 500cc NSU on display. Got lots of great pictures. Also went to place called something like Benelong bay. Very huge rocks there.

After that, we drove to Launceston. Launceston, like Hobart, has many historical buildings and is quite beautiful. Had a great feed and a few pints of Guiness at an English pub last night, we are off to cataract gorge today.

Having a great holiday and a nice break from work. :-)
