As a chef, Chef Michael Smiths deepest passion is the preparation and presentation of food from flame and sharing its bounty with others. He dreamed for many years of building a costumed brick-lined, wood-burning, fire-breathing beast that would contain every form of live fire known to man. In 2015 his dream came true. Now he and the Fire Brigade share the ancient art and craft of live-fire cooking in its many aromatic forms in an appliance we call FireWorks. Our restaurant, also appropriately named FireWorks, features a unique Feast format that perfectly showcases a myriad of locally sourced flavours all one hundred percent prepared from the live fires of the Fire Kitchen. This a culinary experience and we recommend visiting their website for full details.

Nice little local beach but be sure to check the tides before heading out. Low tide is a fantastic time to visit the beach.

At this point, you can only make a right or left and this road is called Cape Bear of 18. Make a left and follow this road until you get to Beach road on your right-hand side.
