Bicheno Attractions

On the northeastern coast of Tasmania is the old fishing port of Bicheno (pop. 700), which now attracts many holidaymakers with its beautiful beaches and good fishing. Originally Bicheno was a whaling station established about 1803. In the mid 19th C coal was shipped from here. Along with tourism, cray fishing is a major source of income.

7km north is the East Coast Bird Life and Animal Park. From the Twin Hills there are fine views.

There is a picturesque foreshore walkway from Redbill Point, north of the town, to the Blowhole, to the south.
