Port Fairy’s past and present fishermen in 2010.
I always thought an image of Port Fairy’s past and present fishermem would be great for the Port Fairy’s archives and be good to have as it’s history! When I was growing up in Port Fairy the older fishermen were good fun and were a hardy bunch. So I approached Howard (Podge) Sharp about my intentions. He was a great help and rang everybody up and organised a time for them to be at the wharf so I could get my picture. A bit of trivia about the image. They all lined up and smiled. It didn’t look right to me! So I said to them ‘I don’t want a smily photo’, so they put on their serious heads as they are proud and tough fishermen. You be the judge but personally I was glad to take it that way! Thanks to Podge and the fishermen. Again click on this image for light box mode.
