Anchorage:
Although Pt Fairy is a fishing port, there is often space available alongside the wharf on the northern side of the River Moyne and by arrangement with the Manager, Max Dumesny, Port of Port Fairy – contact 03 5568 1108. Alternatively, pole moorings may be available at the sailing club on the opposite side of the river.
Comments:
The town of Pt Fairy is situated on the River Moyne and has a wide range of facilities available within walking distance from the wharf – hotels, fuel, super-market, bakeries, chandlery, boat repairs. Although there has been a significant amount of (unsympathetic) development over the past few years, many historic buildings remain.
Note that space in the port during the annual Folk Festival (Victorian Labour day w/e) is severely limited due to the number of visiting boats and advance bookings are essential.
