The Best Things To See in Bay of Fires And Nearby Hidden Gems

Welcome to the east coast of Tasmania, famed for the contrasted colour palette that stretches its rugged coastlines. Admire the natural beauty of the bright orange boulders, offset by white sands and crystalline, turquoise waters. You’d be mistaken for thinking the area was named for the orange lichen stained rocks though, it’s also rich in Aboriginal history. Bay of Fires was named by an explorer, who saw many fires burning on the shores as he sailed past in 1773.
