Get to know Port Fairy

Port Fairy (Great Ocean Road), Victoria, Australia, is a lovely little town on the western coast of Victoria; it's best known for its beautiful natural setting at the end of the Great Ocean Road, many historic buildings, and annual folk-music festival. It’s a great spot to visit for backpackers who want to experience life in an Australian country town, as well as attending some of the fun community events that take place there throughout the year.

First settled by European colonists in the mid-nineteenth century, these days Port Fairy boasts over fifty beautiful National Trust-listed historic buildings. Visitors can appreciate these lovely old buildings as they wander through town, or follow the heritage walking trails that point out specific places of interest. There are also several museums in the local area, including a few historical society museums, a historic home, a historic lifeboat station, and a cheese museum.

Nature-lovers will also enjoy a visit to Port Fairy, and there are quite a few nature reserves where you can see native wildlife and plants in their natural environment. These include the Tower Hill Nature Reserve, a fascinating place situated within an extinct volcano, where wallabies, emus, koalas, and other wildlife can be spotted. At certain times of the year whales, seals, and dolphins can also be spotted from the local beaches, or you can take a cruise to Lady Julia Percy Island to see a seal colony and other marine life.

Thrill-seeking backpackers will find plenty to do in the Port Fairy area. If you’ve always wanted to learn how to surf it’s possible to pick up a few pointers at the local surf schools, as well as take lessons on stand up paddle-boarding.
