St Helens - Bay of Fires

Thursday, Feb. 12

The Bay of Fires. Jan was a bit under the weather today so Mike and her stayed in the park whilst Sally and I loaded John and Lee into the Prado and headed north to the Bay of Fires. Our first stop was at The Gardens were the scenery was good but Mother Nature turned on a very fresh nor-easter.

We then continued north towards Ansons Bay but time only permitted us to go as far as Policeman’s Point at the entrance.

We turned south across some gravel roads back to St. Helens for lunch and then onto St. Helen’s Point on the southern side.

Before returning to camp, we crossed back over the harbour and shot out to Binalong Bay for a quick looksee.

Then back to St. Helens to pick up some supplies for dinner and then back to the park to enjoy the very well appointed camp kitchen for dinner and some cards. We were aware of the bush fire crisis occurring in Victoria and tonight we watched the Bush Fire Appeal on the tele.
