Day 156-158 Port Fairy Part One

Port Fairy is a lovely spot, (see next issue), we did all the tourist things, which included Griffith Island.
This small island used to be two island's that over the years have joined. There is this glorious lighthouse at the point, which now connected to the mainland by the causeway below, these fence panels are all that is left of the keepers attempts to make the place home.

We also went back in the evening to see the Mutton Birds coming home to their burrows...nothing till just after dusk then the sky was alive with the birds coming in low over the sea, looking like bats in  the evening sky.
