We found another fabulous free campsite at Swimcart Beach on the Bay of Fires and we managed to get a spot with direct beach access. I thought the bay probably got its name from the bright orange lichen on the granite boulders but apparently it was named by Captain Tobias Furneaux who saw the fires of the Aboriginal people on the beaches in 1773 as he explored the coast of Van Diemen’s Land.
I can imagine this campsite will be absolutely packed over the summer.
