  • Heather Blakey, the webmaster of the Soul Food Cafe and Outback Online is, amongst many things, a Billabong Dreamer. She likes to sit by the billabong, typing, recalling, giving voice to her ancestors. Alongside the billabong Heather hears the voice of her great grandfather, George Chale Watson, who spent seven years surveying the Never Never and sometimes, when she listens particularly carefully, she can hear the sounds of the convict ships that her great great grandparents sailed from England to Australia on. By the Billabong, Heather has her hardy laptop which she uses to build niche, virtual communities.

Port Fairy Retreat

Posted by Heather Blakey on July 23, 2007

It was a retreat when I went to stay with my friends, Carolyn and Alan, who have restored and created an enchanted cottage at Port Fairy.

They have a little boat, moored on the Moyne River. The Moyne quay is very likely Port Fairy’s most beautiful aspect.

I stopped to savour the boats and think of Darryl who loved harbours and ports.

Enchanteur shopped with a passion and paraded her new clothes.
And I was just Heather
who relaxed and lived
for four days in the sea air.
