This morning’s broadcast from the #PortFairy Folk Festival was so much fun! Thank you to everyone who showed up and got a taste of “the best of the fest.” So much positive energy in the beautiful Reardon Theatre. Loved it!

We managed to see the Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) from our front garden last night!

On this morning's run, I came around the corner and was stopped in my tracks by this #kangaroo in front of Griffiths Island! 🦘
We very rarely see kangaroos here (lots of wallabies). I reckon this might have been the kangaroo on our garden cam the other morning. #portfairy
Our resident black swans have had 5 cygnets this year! 😍

Emu showing off his hair do at Tower Hill Nature Reserve.
"Aren't I handsome?" Emu at Tower Hill Nature Reserve.
I think it's time for something a little more peaceful given recent events. Here's a sleepy Koala and a curious Emu from a recent trip to Tower Hill Nature Reserve, Port Fairy.

A wonderful colourful bookshop interior, with not one browsing person.
Easter holidays are just about upon us - but today the bookshop is so quiet … we’re open all weekend! #portfairy
Amazed at the quality of the Marimba Taters ensemble from Tate Street Primary School (Geelong) performing at Port Fairy during the folk festival. No recorder group ever sounded this good. #PortFairy #Australia #livemusic
Three piece (fiddle, concertina, guitar) Scottish instrumental trad folk band Talisk on stage in full flight.
Been too busy enjoying the music at #PortFairy #Folk Festival to think about social media, needed to take a break from the world’s doom-hose and recharge, but will post a few blurry phone pics as and when.
#Talisk from Scotland killed it Friday night with their high-energy instrumentals - glorious!
The broad expanse of the Moyne River, where it flows under the bridge in Port Fairy. I’ve been making the not terribly funny dad-joke about the river being “Moyne” (in a bad faux-Irish accent…) for about 25 years worth of folk festivals here now, much to the dismay of friends, ex friends and family along the way. Sometimes you just have to lean into what you love.
Just wanted to note that this river is all Moyne. #PortFairy
