Irish Descent

Hi Folks,

Recently while reading one of many guide books on Oz, I came across a
reference to the town with the largest ratio of Irish descendants. I
know I was in the section describing the Great Ocean road, but I am
unable to locate the article. Can anybody help?

There could be a lengthy debate over that claim.

Particularly as large parts of that area were also heavily settled by
Scots.

Well the last time I looked, Scotland was no longer a province of
Ireland, so I don't think that they are part of the equation.

Possibly Port Fairy.

Thanks but I remember it was inland in the region north of Port Fairy.

Koroit makes that claim. I don't know if it is true.

I've managed to find the original reference, this year's Rough Guide.
The town is Koroit which is quite close to Port Fairy.
Thank you all.
