~ THE TIMELESS MARITIME TOWN

Port Albert remains one of Victoria’s oldest settlements and was originally the gateway to Gippsland being Victoria’s first established port.

From the mid – 1800s, Port Albert was the supply port for Gippsland’s pioneers until the completion of the MelbourneSale railway in 1878. It has berthed ships from Europe and America and welcomed thousands of Chinese migrants on their way to the goldfields. More than 40 Georgian and Victorian-style buildings still exist in the town.

Port Albert remains a commercial port, and its reputation for recreational fishing sees its population swell considerably during summer. Visit the Port Albert Maritime Museum, take a walk through history on the Alberton Cemetery guided tours, follow the Old Port Walking Trail, or enjoy scenic boat tours, fishing trips and bird watching.
