Regarding the town of Port Fairy so named after the cutter "Fairy" which arrived there in the 1810's In the 1840's it was named Belfast and in 1877 was renamed Port Fairy it stands at the mouth of the River Moyne a familiar name for the Irish? and is located in one of the most picturesque area of Victoria named "The Shipwreck Coast" There are many old (in Australian terms) buildings including the Caledonian Inn established in 1844 which is Victoria's oldest licensed hotel, any one from The Old Country would get slightly nostalgic in Port Fairy looking over Belfast Cove, passing the Dublin House Inn, another one that sounds Irish to me is the Merrijig Inn, Five mile westwards is Killarney without the lakes! and inland is Koroit that hosts an Annual Irish Festival, This area was settled by the Irish escaping the famine and it still shows, the graveyards have many Celtic crosses marking the last resting places of these Irish so far from their native land, the fields have stone walls and no prizes for guessing that the area grows potatoes.
I am not a travel agent but give it a visit sometime. Dennis
