Tasmania Bay of Fires - Part 2

The Bay of Fires is best known for it red rocks.
The orange lichens on the rocks at first I thought was probably the reason for the "Fires" of the name but it isn't. Apparently the first explorers (and the book on the history of Australia is packed so I cannot checked out who it was) saw fires on the shore and this is were the name comes from.
