Bicheno (Llandaff Rest Area) 6 December 2007

Drove down the coast and despite the cold and wet day, we had a lovely walk in the afternoon at Bicheno. Bicheno is definitely there for the tourist and has a tired commercial feel We had intended to stay the night there but the only caravan park that could take us was not suitable. We went for a walk along the headlands and admired the scenery with the lichen colouring all the round boulders making up the foreshore in orange, gold and yellow. We parked at the best view in town and stayed there til late, having a wonderful roast dinner in the Goal Restaurant. We were able to drive a short distance and free camped on the road. It poured rain overnight and was reasonably windy but we were snug inside.
