Port Fairy

Port Fairy occupies a low coastal position at the mouth of the Moyne River in Victoria’s Western District. Facing Bass Strait, the town is linked to Griffiths Island, where the white Port Fairy Lighthouse has stood since 1859. Its compact centre retains a notable concentration of 19th-century bluestone buildings, recalling the port’s early role in whaling, sealing and coastal trade. Port Fairy is also known for the annual Port Fairy Folk Festival, which brings musicians and audiences to town each March. Beaches, river edges and the island’s walking tracks make its maritime setting easy to explore at an unhurried pace.
