Can you spot the coffee junkie here? I couldn't resist getting my fix at Rebecca's Cafe in small town Port Fairy, population 2600, located just west of Warrnambool. Sadly, I'd already eaten brekkie so didn't get a taste of those tempting looking treats in the case. This coastal town was settled in 1835 and it's one of the earliest settlements in Victoria. What the guidebook claimed was true- we were "immediately at peace in hospitable Port Fairy", and found ourselves walking around Griffiths Island, on the beach towards a very inviting looking 1859 bluestone lighthouse, still in operation with an automated light. I really enjoy looking at traces of sea life washed up onto the beach- in the beach photo above, I'm holding one of the many seashells we saw scattered in the sand and along the shoreline. If you look closely in the first and third photos from the top, you'll see a heron we came across on our walk.
