Bicheno, on the eastern coast of Tasmania, was originally a whaling town. It is now a resort town (population around 700) with cool, pleasant temperatures and wide sandy beaches. The pace is relaxed, the wildlife is varied, and the scenery is beautiful. This combination of factors make for some adventurous escapes.
