Port Fairy is home to Australia’s second liveliest port. 19. The town, which was founded by whale and seal fishermen in the 1850s at the mouth of the river, later grew into an important transit point.. Tourism and fishing are important sources of income in the village, where around 3,000 people live now.
The town, which is 28 kilometers west of Warrnambool, the town I passed before, is 290 km away from Melbourne.. A little outside of the city, there is a small factory owned by the GlaxoSmithKline pharmaceutical company.
Since 1977, the Port Fairy Folk Festival, which starts every first Friday of March as part of the Labor Day celebrations and lasts for 4 days, has been noted as a popular tourist activity. attractive . Although it started with a focus on Irish culture and music, it is now continued with the theme of world music.
I don’t have time to stay in the town, which is an important accommodation center for tourists with its architectural structure, whales, seals and dolphins on its shores, so I took a tour with my caravan in the town.
I was very hungry when I parked the trailer by the Moyne River that runs through the historic town.. I cooked my beans in the kitchen of the trailer with the amazing view. I took my food on my plate, went to the calm, calm and peaceful lakeside and ate with pleasure towards Griffiths Island.. I missed the familiar tastes for a long time.. It was an invaluable pleasure to cook and dine against this magnificent view with ingredients I bought from Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne.
So beautiful on Griffiths Island There is a walking track. The lighthouse built in 1859 at the eastern end of the island, also known as Rabbit Island, is worth seeing.. This island is home to many bird colonies again.
After a 45-minute walk on the island, it was late.. The sun was about to set, even though I had come to the end of my Great Ocean Road journey that had started since 7am, I still had a long road ahead.
First Mount Gambier >, then following the Kingston SE road, long distances towards the magnificent sunset view, and arrived at Narrunga at 10 o’clock at night.. Tomorrow I will pass to the city of Adelaide from this small peninsula between Alexandrina and Lake Albert.
