        intro="Bicheno is just 12km north of the turn off for Coles Bay, so a visit can easily be combined with a trip to Freycinet. There is a limited amount of climbing, but the granite is superb hereabouts, with some good bouldering to be found at the nearby Blowhole. To get to the roped climbing park at the end of Morrison Street and walk up the main track skirting the west side of Lookout Rock."
