What to Do and See in Port Fairy
History Walk and Local Sightseeing
Port Fairy began as a whaling station in the 19th century. A collection of small huts were built along the Moyne River and the Eastern foreshore by the whalers and sealers from Van Dieman's Land who sought shelter during the whaling season.
There is a strong Celtic influence in the town (which was originally called Belfast until 1887) and indeed throughout the surrounding countryside. Some evidence of this is the number of Irish names you will notice around, and also the old stone walls running between farms and along the roadside. The art of constructing these walls has been handed down the centuries, and is almost dying out today.
There are over fifty buildings in Port Fairy classified by the National Trust dating from the early 19th century. History is everywhere you walk, along the wide streets lined with quaint cottages, old stone churches, warehouses, taverns, and inns. Lines of magnificent Norfolk Pine trees stand sentinel over this charming old fishing village
Follow the History Walk through tree-lined streets, watch fishermen unloading their catches of abalone or crayfish, see yachts glide over Port Fairy Bay or fly a kite off South Beach.
East Beach is a popular spot for pleasure and relaxation. The beach runs parallel with the Moyne River and is accessible by footbridge and roadway.
During the season, September through to April, the nightly return of the Mutton Birds is a sightseeing must.
Music Festivals
The most famous is the Folk Music Festival held every March since 1976. The Spring Music Festival each October attracts classical music, jazz and theatre lovers. Rhapsody in June takes the middle road with something for everyone.
Other Pleasures
Go shopping amongst some of Australia’s best antique, art and craft stores. Port Fairy has a growing reputation as a centre for local arts and crafts, and there are a considerable number of galleries and studios open to the public.
Whilst on holiday, dining out is always a treat and Port Fairy offers plenty of choice from delightful tearooms to great pub meals, smart cafes and romantic old world restaurants. Of course fresh seafood is a specialty at many of these fine eateries.
Other more active adventures include a sailing trip to visit the seal colony on Lady Julia Percy Island, a coastal cruise, as well as golf, tennis, bowls, surfing, diving and snorkelling.
