Bay of Fires in Tasmania, Australia
The Bay of Fire, on Tasmania's north-western tip, offers visitors fine sandy beaches and lush forest, a haven for wildlife, protected as Mount William National Park. A unique coastline is well worth a guided walking tour, the best way to get to know it and appreciate the landscape in depth.
Spring, when the park is covered in a carpet of wild flowers that fill it with colour and attract butterflies and small birds, is an ideal time to visit the Bay of Fire, which can be reached by road from Launceston or Haobart after travelling 200-300km. It takes two days by plane from Spain, with stopovers in London and Melbourne, to travel to the island of Tasmania, so it is advisable to take advantage of your visit to Australia to travel to this place.
Mount William National Park was declared a wildlife sanctuary to protect the many species that inhabit it, including birds of prey, ospreys, peregrine falcons, wallabies, wombats, pósums, Tasmanian devils and eastern grey kangaroos.Fire Bay in TasmaniaFrom the ridges of the fine sandy beaches enclosed by dunes and granite headlands, there are magnificent views of the headland, forests and surrounding coastline. The waters also offer great diving, snorkelling and fishing, with Anson Bay being a great place to do this and one of the few places in Tasmania where you can catch Australian sea bass.
The park also contains several significant Aboriginal sites that add to the attractions of this protected area of coastal Tanzania. The Ticket, which provides access to this and other Tasmanian National Parks and is valid for two months, can be purchased online for $30.00 or $60 if you plan to camp in one of the camping areas that have been developed around Stumpys Bay and Musselroe Bay in the northern part of the park, and to the south on the beach road from Eddystone Point to Deep Creek.
The Bay of Fire allows you to enjoy the sun on its beautiful beaches, practice water sports in its waters or enjoy nature in Mount William National Park. It's a charming place and a must-visit if you decide to travel to Tasmania or Australia.
