Sat, 25th Apr, 2015 Swimcart Beach Campground, Bay of Fire Conservation Area


Nice morning, 17 degrees but the sun is out though there are still a lot of clouds around. Enjoyed breakfast outside in the sunshine. Went for a walk to see if Nash was going fishing but he wasn’t up yet.

I read my book while Steve rigged up the fishing lines like Nash showed him. After lunch drove past Nash’s van but he was gone so we headed back into Binalong Bay to have a look around and do the walks to the points.

Found a cute chick for Steve to hang out with. He said ‘we’ve been long way to get to Binalong Bay’!! He’s been reading too many bush poetry books!!

Drove down to the boat ramp – tranquil little area for the boats.

Further along was the lookout – as we walked up there was a great view over the rock pool and orange and yellow rocks.

Great aerial shot on the info board. The wind is freezing so glad we brought our big coats.

Onto the lookout – shame the clouds have moved back in. Looking over Binalong Bay and the Bay of Fires to the north.




Zoomed across to our van (the one on the left).

Drove around to do the walks. Looking back on Skeleton Bay from Skeleton Point.


Further on around the track to Grants Point – Steve trying to push the rock over the cliff.

I’m putting it into position.

Elephant Rock out the front of the point.

Looking over the orange rocks to St Helens Point.


Looking back over the bay to Mt Pearson.

Certainly some big boulders around here.

Heading back along the track – was a nice walk.


Drove further around to Dora Point. Walked down to the beach and looking towards Dora Point. Lots of seaweed dying on the beach.

Across the mouth of Georges Bay to St Helens Point.

Back to the narrow opening into the Bay.

Back to Binalong Bay. Parked at the beach area. View over the beach and the entrance to Grants Lagoon.

The sand is very squeaky. Would look a lot nicer if the sun was out.

Back to the van for a cuppa. The wind is picking up and it is freezing. At 4pm it was 14 degrees outside. Steve got the fire going to cook tea. The moon tried to peek out. Temperature is dropping so into the van to eat tea and watch the Anzac centenary celebrations in Gallipoli.
