Discovery Australia F & C: Quintessential Port Fairy feels like a romantic affair

Port Fairy is an unforgettable place! The name reminds me of fantasy, of everything starry and magical, as one can expect out of fairy tales. And fairy tales are just so romantic. So were our experiences at Port Fairy. An idyllic location besides the Great Ocean, this seaside town has beautiful townhouses, lots of greenery and a tranquil river with yachts lined along the pier. To top up all this natural beauty, it is connected to a small island called Griffith Island. I've never quite come across an adjoining island by foot, that is nothing less of unspoilt nature and wild life.

We ate our first sumptuous meal of seafood - white fish and oysters with wine. The restaurant was right beside the pier and offered a fantastic view of the river. After dinner, we walked along the river and admired the houses built on its banks. Occasionally, our eyes caught the pleasing interiors of some of these houses and we were immediately inspired!
