Wednesday 21st - Thursday 22nd March 2012 - Dora Campground at The bay of Fires

We left Coles Bay early and headed to Bicheno hoping to take the kids for a snorkel. Unfortunately it was very windy and there was a huge swell so that plan was cancelled. We stopped briefly at the Douglas Appsley National Park and took a short walk down to the rocky riverbed.

We drove on towards The Bay of Fires and found a free camp at the Dora Campground. We set up and went down to the beach, Ed as usual with a fishing rod in hand. We should see some of the red/orange stained rocks but the plan was to explore them more the next day.

The next day we went exploring all the beaches and lagoons all the Bay of Fires with some of the best views from The Gardens. Whilst it was pretty to look at I was slightly disappointed with it. It's hard to describe but I sort of felt that it would be more impressive.

We had a couple nights with the company of Paul & Max and their boys with a campfire and marshmallows.
