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.

Douglas-Apsley National Park
16,080ha.
The Douglas-Apsley National Park, established in 1990, lies inland from the northeast coast of Tasmania. It is an almost untouched area of dry sclerophyll (hard-leaved) forest, forest-covered ridges and patches of rain forest, with impressive waterfalls and wild gorges. Also very beautiful, but difficult to access, are the valleys of the Apsley River and Douglas River. There are spectacular views on the rugged northeast coast, shaped by the surf of the Tasman Sea.
