Port Fairy Travel Guide

 nat22 Says:  We went to visit the glass blowing studio. They had just started a new blowing session, apparently they blow glass for a few weeks at a time and then lampwork beads for a while. It is a small studio so it was easy to chat the the blowers as they worked. Facinating art to... 

 nat22 Says:  Following the Art Walk Map available from the Port Fairy Tourist office, we came across Whale Bone Gallery. We were particularily impressed with this gallery as it is a co-operative run by 6 local artists. We had a long chat with the lovely lady working there who turns out... 

 Mikebb Says:  Visit the wharf at Port Fairy, interesting at any time you are sure to see some boat activity or some people fishing. The day we went we saw all of these things and were lucky enough to see a Squid Boat returning to port. It was a very unusual boat with all kinds of... 

 Becbartel Says:  We checked wisharts out on a lovely walk along the wharf. We booked in for dinner after having looked at a few places around the town that were a lot more expensive and we got a seat by the window and the fire. We had a fantastic meal of entrees and mains and a bottle of... 

 Becbartel Says:  I was looking forward to eating here as I'd read a lot about it, all good. I had the eggs and beans and was very disappointed. Both had no flavour at all and I had to cover it in salt to give some flavour, something I haven't had to do in years. My husband had the mushroom... 

 HarShe Says:  Very friendly owners, will go out of the way to please you. The Chef/owner was happy to open his kitchen for us when we reached late for lunch and their kitchen had closed for cleaning. 

 leffe3 Says:  We tried 'Portofino', regarded as the best restaurant along this part of the coast (and the menu looked scrummy) but fully booked. Port Fairy is certainly not short of restaurants, so we were spoilt for choice but which one? Two hungry kids helped us make the decision - a... 

 Kate-Me Says:  We only stopped in the cafe for coffee and a milkshake, but the service we received and the friendliness were great....we returned to the same spot 1 year later, to find the cafe was gone, and one less attractive, and a bit more 'chic' and expensive was in it's place....... 

 Kate-Me Says:  As I wandered down the main street of Port Fairy, I noticed a rather more wide selection of shopping options than I was expecting in a small town....the 5 cafes and 2 bakeries were expected, but there were also at least 3 book shops, almost all in a row. Pictured here is a... 

 ATXtraveler Says:  Don't get Fung Shui'ed out of your chair.... we had no IKEA that they would design something like this. Who ever thought it would be stylish to design a chair with only three legs, and make the back side the single leg, was obviously not considering normal human... 

 Kate-Me Says:  Between Warrnambool and Port Fairy lies the tiny town of Killarney. I was attracted to it because of its Irish name. It's a very small place to be even called a town, with a pub, hotel, a couple of guest houses...but it does have its own beach down the road, which seems... 

 Kate-Me Says:  Drought in Victoria being so serious at the moment, seeing this lush countryside around Port Fairy and Warrnambool was a welcome respite from short, dry grass only 2 1/2 hours away at home. This is prime dairy farming country. They also have water shortages, but obviously at...
