Introducing Port Fairy

This seaside township was settled in 1835, and the first arrivals were whalers and sealers. Port Fairy still has a large fishing fleet and a relaxed, salty feel with its old bluestone and sandstone buildings, whitewashed cottages, colourful fishing boats and tree-lined streets. The tiny town centre is along and around Sackville St.
