The Bay of Fires is a bay on the north-east
coast of Tasmania in Australia,
extending from Binalong Bay to Eddystone Point. The bay was given
its nameby Captain Tobias Furneaux in 1773 when he saw the
fires of Aboriginal people on the beaches. The Bay of Fires is
a region of white beaches, blue water and orange-hued granite.
The northern section of the bay is part of Mount
William National Park; the southern end is a conservation area. A wide range of activities can be pursued in the Bay of Fires area, including
camping, beach activities, boating, bird watching, fishing, swimming, surfing and walking. |
