While we were camped up in Bicheno, we took a day trip to Coles Bay to have a look around. Checked out the Cape Tourville Lighthouse which is a short easy and scenic walk from the carpark.

Cape Tourville Lighthouse - erected in 1971. It replaced the inaccessible Cape Forestier Lighthouse on Lemon Rock.

Before leaving town that day, we booked a day cruise to Wineglass Bay. It was a 5 hour cruise around the Freycinet Peninsula and north to Wineglass Bay. Had lunch on the boat and returned. What a great day - we had the perfect weather. The entire coast line is a spectacle of vibrant coloured granite cliff faces, caves and coves - just breathtaking scenery.

We got to see some wildlife, Sea Eagle and its massive nest, seals, pelicans, dolphins and shearwaters.

Wineglass bay, with its white sandy beach and calm turquoise waters is a sight similar to Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsundays.
All in all, a wonderful day and worth the cost ($175 each). We loved it.
