Where Sea Meets Spectacle – The Drama of Bicheno Blowhole

#summervacay #australiatrip #naturalwonders Tucked along Tasmania’s pristine east coast lies an unscripted performance by nature—the Bicheno Blowhole. One moment, the waves retreat silently. The next, they thunder upward through a granite crevice, erupting in a jet of sea spray, startling and spectacular. I stood there on a summer afternoon, mesmerised not only by the rhythmic bursts but by how the ocean danced with the light—silver, then blue, then gold. It’s raw, wild energy, in perfect contrast to the serenity of nearby Rice Beach. Travel tip: Drive along the Great Eastern Drive to Bicheno town. Ample parking is available near the blowhole (look for the coastal reserve signage). Best viewed around high tide, but even during calm seas, it’s worth the detour.
