He also built The Rocket Shed on the foreshore, and the B&B at 5 Tyers St.
Do check the Portland Commonwealth Bank which is tricked out like a Brighton living room – very very weird what they do with the money they make in fees. On the street parallel to the foreshore there is a great early-opener cafe (for the fishermen returning) with timber booths and a great ambience.
Forget name but it’s opposite a giant iron whale blubber boiling thing on the reserve. Looking forward to your post-Port post.
