Bicheno - 24 - 25/03/2024

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.

Someone just had to get up close to see how it worked!


Catching up with family...







 

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!
