Sightseeing
A beautiful walk of approx 3km. At dusk and dawn between September and April, experience the amazing shearwater colony leave and return daily from their epic fishing journeys. Many little wallabies might pop their heads up through the bushes, so keep your eyes out. And enjoy the beautiful view from the lighthouse.

A short drive from Port Fairy, so much nature in such a small place. An extinct volcano, and nature reserve, with easy walks and picnic/BBQ area. Great for families and overseas visitors. Home to water birds, kangaroos, koalas, emus - it's a special place
