St Helens and the *STUNNING* Bay of Fires

---

Although it was still a cool morning, luckily the rain had subsided. We were going to have a towny / restful day. So Dean went fishing at St Helens wharf (disappointingly all his bites were too small) and I had a look around town. They have a cool and quirky little charity shop where you can fill up one shopping bag, with anything you like, for $4. So I had heaps of fun :-)

In the afternoon, we drove to the Bay of Fires Conservation Area and, courtesy of our “Camps” book, found another awesome spot at Swimcart Beach Campground. Sadly, again complete with dodgy long drop loo… But I’m kind of getting used to them now!

The Bay of Fires is just stunning and our camp spot is literally five steps to the soft sandy beach. I immediately popped open our handy sun shade and enjoyed an hour with a good book. The sound of the ocean is heavenly and it’s very easy to relax here.

Tea tastes way better with whisky.
