Another pleasant day with just one hill of around 170m in the centre. Not along the coast like yesterday, but still pleasant enough.

A view coming down the only hill of the day...
I noticed some noise on my back wheel as the ride ended. It didn't sound good.
The Camp Site - Bicheno East Coast Holiday Park
Official Web Site
Actually there's plenty of choice in Bicheno with a Big4 holiday park and backpackers place too. This park has a good camp kitchen.
The Town - Bicheno
Pronounced "Bish-eno" (Don't say "Bitch-eno" whatever you do), is a good size, with a few shops, restaurants and places to stay. It has a Tourist info place and there are some attractions such as the blowhole, that are well worth seeing.
The Characters
Unbelievably, the Garden Gnome was waiting for me as I rolled into Bicheno. He was the first person I saw as I arrived. Nicely he directed me to the camp site and gave me a few tips about what to do there. I was too tired to listen much, just needed food and a good shower!
In the camp kitchen I met a couple of children who were really well behaved and polite. I got to know that family who were so interested in what I was doing, cycling around Tasmania. The children really wanted to see what my bike was like fully laden and the boy wanted to see if he could lift it up.
At the time I was leaving, I went round to see them, and he couldn't even move the bike let alone lift it! Then waved me off, as I made my last leg to St. Helens.
