Today’s plan was to do the short drive from the Freycinet Peninsular to
Bicheno and spend the day exploring around
Bicheno. We stopped along the way at the
free camping area at Friendly Beaches to compre it to the River and Rocks
camp area. In retrospect it was a much better
camp area with more room and not as crowded. The caravan park at
Bicheno was quite good and we had a nice site with grass. The amenities were semi on suite types where each
toilet and shower were in the same unit within the amenity block. We also took the chance to do some washing and get it dried as the weather has been fairly wet. The town of
Bicheno is fairly large with very
well established tourist accommodation facilities as
well as a small fishing fleet. The bay is quite picturesque and we found a café overlooking the bay for lunch.
