Oct 16 Our last day in the north east with a visit to St Marys which is dominated by St Patrick’s Head, named on March 17th 1774, it is the oldest Irish place name in Australia. The roads leading to and from St Marys were quite intimidating. St Helens is a seaside resort on the shores of Georges Bay, north of which is the Bay Of Fires, so named by Captain Furneaux in 1773 as he sailed past and saw the aboriginal camp fires burning along the shore. The shore line is covered rocks which have an orange coloured lichen.
