If you are new to this travel series, we are doing a 10 day trip to Tasmania. We started
from Launceston and spent 2 days in this picturesque city. Our next stop was the epic hiking destination
in the cradle mountains. The beauty of this place cannot be explained in words. We then
spent the night in the ecological wonder called Queenstown. Next on our list was the vibrant
capital city of Hobart. From here we also visited mount wellington and Bruny Island.
Today we are heading towards our final destination in the Tassie series, which is the eastern coastline
As we are travelling towards Bicheno, we did a pit stop at this Fish Van. A friend of mine recommended this place to have seafood. So
we are here to check this out.
We ordered pineapple fritters, prawn twisters,
squid and curly fries, which was super delicious.
It's time to explore the gorgeous east coast.
We will stay a couple of nights in Bicheno
from where we will visit the famous Wineglass Bay and Bay of Fires.
So we have reached Bicheno. Now we are going to check in to our hotel.
It's called Beachfront Bicheno. Let's check out our room.
We have come to see the Bay Of Fires. This place is famous for its white sandy beaches,
blue waters and orange coloured granite rocks which is unique to this place. We travelled
here from Bicheno which is around 97 Kms, and this place is around 190 KMs from Launceston.
Bicheno is a quiet seaside resort town on Tasmania's east coast. Fishing and tourism
and the economic forces driving the town. You can join a guided tour to see the local
wildlife including little penguins and Tasmanian devils. It also offers some of the best snorkelling
and scuba diving spots in this region.
We have come to this restaurant called the
Lobster Shack in Bicheno, we are going to try lobster for the first time. We have ordered
the garlic butter lobster and the lobster roll.
We just reached the Freycinet National park. Remember guys you have to take a pass for
the national park. We took the holiday pass and that is applicable for 2 months across
all national parks in Tasmania.
We are taking the Wineglass lookout trail, it is at the
Freycinet National Park and we should be able to get a good view of Wineglass Bay from up there
We started doing this walk around 1:30, We
thought it would be sunny, but good for us, it's cloudy and the weather is just fine.
As per the information we checked on the internet, this is one of the easier walks and it should
not take more than 1.5 hours to reach.
So we have reached the Wineglass Bay lookout,
and OMG just look at this, it's soo beautiful. I love it.
So as per the internet, there
are 2 theories on the name Wineglass Bay. One, it looks like a wineglass from the top
and the other one is that there was a whaler station and slaughtering of whales would happen
at that place and the blood would cause it to become red and show like a wineglass being filled
Well, it's time to say goodbye to Bicheno and sadly also to Tassie as we are finishing
our visit to this wonderful state. Now we will be leaving for Launceston to take our
flight back to Sydney. We will be back with the new journey and a new trip. Till then...bye
