SATURDAY – PORT FAIRY – THE END OF THE ROAD


Unfortunately we had to contend with wet and windy weather today so our sight seeing was a little constrained but not seriously affected. We started the day with Bay of Martyrs and Bay of Islands, the last of the seascape with the large offshore sandstone structures.


From there we went to Warrnambool where we were able to spend a good proportion of the inclement weather indoors at the Maritime Museum, its main theme being the large number of shipwrecks which occurred on this very rugged coast before the days of steam powered ships.

Port Fairy is a fascinating mixture of very old and very new with a great number of well preserved historic buildings. It would be a great place to explore by foot but the weather is preventing that.

No more blog now until after the golf when we start heading north towards home via Phillip Island and who knows where else. I hope we don't get any of this weather while we are trying to play golf.
