When we drove out of St Helens, we stopped only 36km down the road for an overnighter at a free camp on the grounds of White Sands Estate - the site of a resort, brewery, distillery and winery.
Next day, we headed off early as our intended next base was a place called "The Pondering Frog". It's a cafe along the Tasman highway which has an area designated as a self contained RV park - first in best dressed - $10/night.
Along the way, we drove through the seaside town of Bicheno. We took a detour to check out the Bicheno Blow Hole - after spending an hour or so there, we decided to book a site at the local caravan park for a couple of nights. With plenty of camera fodder around its coastline, I made the best of our time there. All these images are from the coastline around Bicheno.

Judy also checked out the bakery for their vanilla slice - it got the thumbs up!
Tomorrow, we leave Bicheno and plug on a whole 12km down the road to the Pondering Frog. Our intention is to stay there a week to secure a site across Easter as everywhere will be super busy!
