Freycinet Peninsula







Our next stop was further down the East Coast at the popular holiday destination of Bicheno, but it was pouring with rain so we didn't stay long. After one night in an overpriced but very tidy caravan park, we drove South to the Freycinet National Park. This park is a peninsula of mountains called The Hazards that are surrounded by beautiful white sandy beaches and steep granite cliffs. We had a couple of great days here and particularly enjoyed a half-day boat cruise around to Wineglass Bay. The skipper was extremely knowledgable about the local landscape and wildlife and showed us a Sea Eagle and it's nest, Albatross, dolphins and seals.
