Day 2





We drove through to Port Fairy yesterday, deciding not to stop overnight in Warnambool.  It was a long drive and we were both rather tired when we got here.  Today we have had a great day.   This morning we went for a one hour bike ride around  the wharf and this afternoon we did a walk around Griffiths Island which was very interesting.  The weather has been beautiful.  We have been to Port Fairy a couple of times before but have never seen around the wharf area.  The scenery was really good.  We visited a place where we stayed with Catherine, Sharon, Beryl and Ted about thirty years ago.  I wonder if the girls can remember it.  It was the old ANZ bank and we stayed there for a weekend when my nephew was getting married.  The photograph of the boat is a recreated Portuguese or Spanish caravel named the Notorious. It has been constructed from all reclaimed timber and has been created single handedly by Graeme Wylie.
