Sunrise in Binnalong Bay With a grand name like the "Bay of Fires", it is perhaps quite normal to expect something quite spectacular from the beaches north of St. Helens. In reality, the true allure of the Bay of Fires is its quietness and tranquillity, as their azure blue waters stand out against the red lichen that grows on the rocks. The white beaches of the bay truly stand out when the sun is bright, and illuminate the waters in a sapphire blue. The Bay of Fires gets its name from the fires lit by the local Aboriginal population when Captain Tobias Furneaux discovered it in 1773. On a calm morning, in this little cove known as Grant's Point, the bay invites visitors to take a step back from the rat race and enjoy life as it comes.
The Bay of Fires Up the east coast of the Apple Isle, past the town of St. Helens lies the Bay of Fires, a series of pristine white beaches that look most dramatic when the sun is high. The red lichen contrasts against the intensely azure blue waters and white sands of the beaches. The bay got its name from the fires lit by the indigenous inhabitants that were visible from sea to the first explorers to this part of the world. Perhaps the most easily accessible and well-known spot in the bay is Binnalong Bay, and particularly, this point known as Humbug Point. This shot was taken at sunset, and unfortunately, given the overcast nature of the day, I didn't get the red and orange colours that I was hoping to get. Nonetheless, it's a good memory to take away from this spot.
Its been a long day Binnalong Bay is the quintessential coastal getaway that so many of us dream of. Its white sands, azure blue waters and quiet life are just what the body and the soul need when one yearns to get away from the rat race. Along the Bay of Fires, there are several coves and lagoons. This little cove is at a place called Humbug Point, about 15 minutes from the St. Helen's Town Centre. It never ceases to amaze me on how the colours of the environment can change so rapidly when the sun goes down - and turn white sands and blue skies into rich gold sands and violet clouds.
