About Bay of Fires
The Bay of Fires is a bay on the northeastern coast of Tasmania in Australia, extending from Binalong Bay to Eddystone Point. The bay was given its name in 1773 by Captain Tobias Furneaux in Adventure, who saw the fires of Aboriginal people on the beaches. Bay whaling activities were carried out in the area in the 1840s. The Bay of Fires is a region of white beaches, blue water and orange-hued granite (the colour of which is actually produced by a lichen).
