PORT FAIRY

A sceanic and historic town...

Visit the historic fishing town of Port Fairy and soak up the charm of 19th century cottages, old stone churches and many heritage buildings. Call in to the Port Fairy History Centre and take a walk around town to admire all the old buildings. Walk over to Griffiths Island across the footbridge and stroll the walking track around the island. There is a lighthouse and a Mutton Bird Viewing point. Take a cruise over to Lady Julia Percy Island where there is a seal colony and many species of sea birds.

The Port Fairy Folk Festival is held in March each year and is a great music festival. Try your hand at fishing in the river or just watch the professional fishermen unloading their catch at the wharves. Diving is a popular sport in the area due to the number of shipwrecks at an accessible depth. The town is known for its many antique, art and craft shops, as well as its outdoor cafes and fish and chip shops. Accommodation can be found in the caravan parks, camping grounds and backpacker hostels, as well as holiday apartments, motels, colonial cottages, boutique hotels and retreats.
