Fairy.
I was not sure what to use as a subject this week, until…
Fairy Penguins came to mind, however…
now, to be politically correct, they are known as Little Penguins.
And then of course there is Port Fairy, where I used to
holiday with family and friends many decades ago.
Port Fairy is a fishing/tourist town and was named
by the crew of the whaler The Fairy in 1828.
In 1835 a whaling station was established
followed by a store in 1839.
Fishing boats still use the Moyne River as their
port of refuge from Bass Strait’s wild weather
and it was in the upper reaches of the Moyne
that I spent many hours swimming
before a swimming pool was constructed
in my home town in about 1966/67.
More history of Port Fairy can be found here.
