Another quaint little town was discovered in seaside Port Fairy. Even the name is sweet and heightens its likeability! Port Fairy is home to some lovely colonial architecture and National Trust buildings. It was fairly windy at the time of our visit, but we could see that there were some nice spots, best enjoyed on a calm day. Kate liked the town even more after an hour in a massage chair and a pedicure at Port Fairy Day Spa (a little treat after the red dirt!).
The three big kids and Kate enjoyed a walk across to Griffiths Island, which is reached by footbridge from Port Fairy. The island is the nightly landing place for thousands of birds that return to breed. In addition to birds we did see a good number of large jellyfish and some wallabies (so Harrison called them – Kate unsure…a bit different looking).
A strange and quite inconceivable thing happens when you have been travelling for this many months. Some of the shorter hops begin to blur and twice whilst in Port Fairy we had to remind ourselves of where we actually were! In addition to this what day of the week it is and what the date is sometimes has to be checked on our phones! What a lovely free lifestyle this has been in many ways….quite unlike any other time in our lives we’re sure!
