A small fishing village where abalone, crayfish, trevally, scollops and crayfish can be caught.
The population increases in the summer time with holiday maker.
We as a family when our two sons were in Primary School stayed in a home there for a holiday in the summer, and it got so windy that it blew the little ones off their bikes, it was a real problem getting back to the cottage, but we did.
This is where the fishing vessels sail.
The blowhole, of course better when the sea is rough.
Those rock formations are lovely - really quite dramatic.
ReplyDeleteYes they are, lots of places similar to that on the East Coast of our island.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous place and amazing views !
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Sure is Ela..
DeleteThat is a dramatic and beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty there but the East Coast of Tasmania is just that.
DeleteI enjoyed the photos and your memories from when the children were little.
ReplyDeleteI love your new profile photo.
Hope you will have a nice week.
Thanks Mildred. New hair cut, had 5 inches off my hair and my husband did it!! Hairdresser comes Friday so she will make the back tidier.
DeleteI am sure that your children must have loved watching that blow hole when they were young.
ReplyDeleteYes, they sure did Rosemary, it's different every time.
Deletegreat pictures
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam.
DeleteIt's looking rather chilly down there in those pics. I wonder what gives the rocks the orange colour?
ReplyDeleteWasn't cold the day we were there, was a little humid. As soon as autumn comes some people dress for winter :) not me unless I am cold.
DeleteLichen causes the rocks to be orange/red colour.
Sure is a bleak looking area when these photos were taken.
ReplyDeleteThe fishermen on those trawlers are a hardy breed, that's for sure.
Those winds from the Southern Ocean can be very penetrating - right
through to the bones!!
Not my idea of a career, but we do love our seafood. So "hats off" to these
intrepid fishermen.
Excellent photography and reporting on this area.
Cheers
Colin
PS: Brisbane is rather bleak today but thankfully no Southern
Ocean winds - ha ha!
Where Bicheno is opposite the Tasman Sea, but of course if a southerly comes it's always bitter!
DeleteDon't care for fishing myself, I would have to throw back the fish :) but on the other hand love to eat it and do.
And thanks..
Some marvelous photos
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo-Anne
DeleteIt doesn't look too windy for your visit. Is there a swimming beach there?
ReplyDeleteWasn't windy at all on the day we were there. Yes, there are a few swimming beaches in the area and not far from the Gulch.
DeleteI love a rocky coast. This one is beautiful with the red lichens on the rocks.
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely the orange/red in the rocks...more places like that here.
DeleteBe great in summer, like the red on the rocks very colourful.
ReplyDeleteMerle............
Lovely place all year around but better in summer for the children on school holidays.
DeleteI would enjoy spending time here any season! I would just make sure I am adequately dressed. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice place for a holiday or to visit.
DeleteI hope you have done some sunrise and sunsets.
ReplyDeleteNot from Bicheno....was only there for the day....
