Portland

The first settlement in Victoria occurred in Portland and the town quickly flourished due to the fishing and agricultural industries. Today, the town has a more relaxed vibe and welcomes visitors for excellent surfing opportunities, fresh food and quality wine.

For the car enthusiast, the Portland Powerhouse Motor and Car Museum is a must see with 30 cars and engines to explore.

The Portland Maritime Discovery Centre located along the waterfront is more than just a museum; there are plenty of activities to keep children entertained. Step inside the rib cage of Whale skeleton, gain an understanding of Portland’s history and the broader Shipwreck Coast.
