About Portland (including Cape Bridgewater and Cape Nelson)

Portland is an attractive and scenic holiday centre situated on Portland Bay 360 km west of Melbourne and 75 km east of the South Australian border. As the only deep-sea port between Adelaide and Port Phillip it is a major exporting centre. Other contributions to the local economy are made by an aluminium smelter (employing 700 people), the fertiliser industry, woolstores, and the fishing industry (focusing particularly on crayfish, lobsters, shark, abalone and deep-sea trawling).

Portland is steeped in history, with many of its 200 heritage buildings, from the 1800's, now fine places to dine and/or to stay. Visitors can enjoy the special ambience and when it comes to dining, the local fishing industry ensures only the freshest seafood is on the menu. Portland Bay is ideal for boating, fishing and sail boarding. There are many fine surfing spots, some of the best surf west of Bells Beach.

Portland has a vibrant cultural and artistic diversity, with many potters, painters, musicians, jewelers, sculptors, actors and writers for a lively theatre scene.

In November during the weekend preceding the Melbourne Cup, the city comes alive with the Portland Bay Festival. 
Portland has a current population of around 12,000. Read more about Portland
