Port Welshpool: Port Welshpool Boat Ramp - Lewis Street - Corner Inlet - Bass Strait

Port Welshpool is best known in Victoria for the Port Welshpool Long Jetty, which extends 800 metres into Corner Inlet. This working coastal settlement in South Gippsland faces the sheltered waters of the inlet, a Ramsar-listed wetland of mudflats, seagrass beds and tidal channels. The port supports a commercial fishing fleet, giving the small township a distinctly maritime purpose rather than a resort character. At the inlet’s southern edge, the granite headlands of Wilsons Promontory meet Bass Strait; the promontory is protected as a national park.

Among Australia’s regions, Victoria stands out for the remarkable variety packed between the Murray River and Bass Strait. The state combines fertile northern plains, the Central Victorian Goldfields, the forested Great Dividing Range and a long southern coast. Bendigo and Ballarat grew rapidly during the gold rushes of the 1850s, while Melbourne developed into Victoria’s cultural and economic centre. Along the southwest, the Great Ocean Road follows a dramatic stretch of coastline, contrasting with the farmland and river country inland. See how Victoria belongs within southeastern Australia by browsing webcams across the region.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
