Bicheno Blowhole - East Coast Whale Trail

The East Coast Whale Trail is a series of coastal stops you can visit with information signs about the whales and where you have a good chance of seeing them. There are 14 trail sites scattered all along the coast from The Gardens in the larapuna/Bay of Fires area near St Helens in the north to Eaglehawk Neck on the Tasman Peninsula. At each East Coast Whale Trail site, you will find a sign with information and stories about them and big sea views to search for signs of whales. There are binoculars installed at two of the Trail sites to help you get a closer view. Whales can throw their fins and flukes, or even their bodies, high out of the water, making great explosions of foam on the sea surface that can be seen from far away. Sometimes they come within a few hundred metres of shore.

Bicheno Fishing

Sports and Recreation Facilities

Bicheno Kayaking

Due to Bicheno's open exposure to the Tasman Sea many recreational anglers are either rock or beach fishers. A vessel capable of coping with large, unpredictable seas is needed here. Some beach fishing occurs north of Bicheno and also south towards Coles Bay at Friendly Beaches. Australian salmon, flathead and shark are targeted in the surf, while striped trumpeter, barracouta, morwong, leatherjacket and cod are taken offshore. Rocky shores abound around Bicheno and many areas are suitable as fishing platforms. A silver sliced lure is the most common hardware and bait fishing techniques here are less common. There is a marine reserve around Governors Island, opposite The Gulch, which provides an excellent opportunity for diving. The wharf at the Gulch is a popular place to visit in the evenings for salmon, mackerel and trevally to name just a few. It is also a great spot for kids. North of Bicheno are a few accessible beaches that are worth a try if you can find some gutters. In particular, the beach from the turn-off at Four Mile Beach all the way around to the bluff at the southern end of the beach can be good, but look for gutters for the best results.

Landmarks and Buildings

Big Blue

A horse sculpted from blue string? What kind of string is it exactly—baling twine, perhaps? Crafted by Nick Adams, a horse hoof trimmer, the acclaimed sculptor secured the Huon Art prize with the companion piece, Blue Perspective, to the larger-than-life creation known as Big Blue. This vivid sculpture portrays a draught horse standing at an impressive 2.2 meters, adorned in striking blue string and poised in a feeding position. Comprising two distinct sections, when separated into two, the artwork allows viewers to stroll between the segments, creating a dynamic visual effect as if the sculpture is either emerging from or receding into surrounding walls. Award-winning Sculptor Nick Adams grew up on an outback sheep station in South Australia. Now based in Tasmania, he has worked as a Stationhand, Machinery Operator, driver, Undergraduate, Ecologist, Green Corps Supervisor, Traveller, Father, Fencer, Hoof Trimmer, and an Artist. Nick specialises in crafting wire sculptures, initially focusing on equine subjects. His distinctive approach involves creating life-sized constructions through meticulous, repetitive, and handcrafted techniques. Preferring simplicity over electricity, he utilises basic tools to bring his visions to life. Nick's ultimate objective is to metamorphose rigid, linear metals into a semblance of vitality, bridging the gap between the inorganic and the organic. Big Blue is located at Hunter Warbirds Museum, Scone.

Parks and Gardens

Big Brook Arboretum

Just 3 kilometres from Big Brook Dam along the Karri Forest Explorer Drive is the Big Brook Arboretum. You can wander the many plots of exotic trees that were planted here to see how they would grow and respond to the local soil and climate, and to determine their potential plantation value. The trail will take you through a grove of sequoias, or American redwoods, past spotted gums from New South Wales and through natural karri forest as you circle back to the picnic area. The campground can accommodate tents, campervans, camper trailers and caravans. Picnic tables, barbecues and toilets are provided. Campfires are usually permitted, in the provided fire rings only, between April and November but fire restrictions may be imposed at any time and without notice. Bring your own locally sourced firewood. When fire restrictions are in place campfires must not be lit and any appliance powered by burning solid fuel must not be used. Always comply with any instructions at campgrounds and parks. Campers' own liquid or gas fuel barbecues, stoves and heaters can be used at any time, unless a total fire ban has been declared. Bookings cannot be made.

Big Brook Dam

Big Brook Dam presents a glorious setting for a freshwater swim, canoe and nature walk. Surrounded by Karri forest, it provides an idyllic location to soak in the crystal clear water or sunbathe on the sandy beach. Take out a canoe for a paddle or try your luck at fishing from the banks. Start your visit with a four kilometre walk around the dam along the beautiful nature trail. Look out for kangaroos that can often be seen soaking up the sun on the banks of the dam. Cool off in the dam and then settle down for a barbecue lunch whilst taking in the magnificent surroundings. The picturesque setting has inspired many artists to capture the Karri forests and water on canvas. Pemberton has several galleries that are worth a visit to view the landscape-inspired art and purchase a reminder of your trip. Dogs are permitted but must remain controlled and on a leash at all times. Big Brook Dam is located just 15 minutes from Pemberton and a four hour drive south of Perth.
