BIG4 Port Fairy

Port Fairy is a unique example of a perfectly preserved 19th century shipping port. The little township has retained its old world character and there is an extraordinarily rich variety of architecture with 50 of its houses being classified by the National Trust. It is well known for its many music festivals: Folk Festival in March, Rhapsody in June and Spring Music Festival in October.
