Port Albert

Port Albert, Victoria's first established port, is the original gateway to Gippsland. From the mid-1800s, Port Albert was the supply port for Gippsland's pioneers until the completion of the Melbourne-Sale railway in 1878. It has berthed ships from Europe and America and welcomed thousands of Chinese on their way to the goldfields.

Still a commercial fishing port, Port Albert's reputation for recreational fishing, with its waters protected by 30 small islands, sees its population swell considerably during summer.

• The quaint fishing village is off the beaten track and, consequently, more than 40 buildings in a Georgian and Victorian architectural style still exist.

Getting There

• Just over 3 hours from Melbourne along the South Gippsland Highway
• Via Korumburra, Leongatha, Foster and Welshpool
• 15 kilometres south of Yarram
