Beach wheelchair hire at Visitor Information Centre

News image

beach wheelchair port fairyDisabled access to Port Fairy's fabulous beaches is easy with free hire of a beach wheelchair available at the Visitor Information Centre.

The wheelchair is designed to go where a typical wheelchair can't, and can be used on soft sand, mud, gravel and uneven terrain. The chair has been provided by Active Oceans, a local organisation that provides opportunities for people with disabilities to experience ocean based activities that once might have been considered too dangerous and adventurous.

For more information about beach wheelchair hire contact the Visitor Information Centre on 03 5568 2682

Port Fairy Uniting Church

ADDRESS:  44 James St, Port Fairy 3284
PHONE:  (03) 5568 1046
EMAIL: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Services are held at 10am 1st, 2nd and 3rd Sundays and 11am 4th Sundays (this service is designed particularly with children in mind).

The present Port Fairy Uniting Church was built in 1855 and was a Wesleyan Methodist Church.  Prior to this, meetings were held in a private house in Rosebrook, before the first building was erected on the bank of the river Moyne at Rosebrook.


In 1847 land was granted to the Methodists, and a wooden building was built on the present site. It was later used as a school.  In 1847 the present bluestone building was constructed, building began in August, and the first service was conducted in December of that year.


Significant decorations feature two carvings by Walter McGill. The first is over the front doorway, and the other, a sculpture of John Wesley’s head is above the porch.  The porch was added in 1933, and this sculpture is now only visible from the street.


In 1870 a second bluestone building on the property was opened as a Sabbath and Common School. After 1872 it was only used as a Sunday School, and recreation hall.
The lovely old Manse next to the church at 46 James St. was in need of extensive renovation, and was, regretfully, sold in 1994. It is now beautifully renovated and is privately owned.   A more detailed history is available at the church.
