Fire and Stone

The name Bay of Fires has nothing to do with the colour of the rocks. It comes from the fires the local Palawa people lit along the shore when the first European ships passed through. But once you've seen these boulders in a winter sunset, it's hard to think of them any other way. That orange is lichen, centuries of it, and it catches the low afternoon light in a way that makes the whole coastline look like it's been set alight.
