Port Fairy is a fishing town, which like Portland started as a sealing and whaling town. You can find out about
the history of the town at the Port Fairy History Centre. There
are also a couple of interesting walks which you can take around
the town, including the History Walk and the Shipwreck Walk and
other interesting things
to do.
Adjoined to the mainland at the south of Port
Fairy is Griffiths Island, which homes a colony of Mutton birds.
You can get to the island on a couple of cruises from Fishermans
Wharf on Port Fairy Bay. Port Fairy is also known for its great
music festival, the Port Fairy Folk Festival. It is held in March
every year, and is always very popular.
Port Fairy offers plenty of accommodation in
the area, including b&b's and numerous guesthouses. There are
also a few camping grounds and a backpackers. There are also some
pleasant daytime and evening cafes and restaurants.
