Australia is home to many charming tiny towns that are overshadowed by Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and other big cities. One of those towns is Portland—the oldest European settlement in the state of Victoria—and here are some amazing landmarks you can find in this tiny city.
Portland Lighthouses
Old lighthouses are scattered in the cities all across Australia, and Portland is no different. You should check out the Cape Nelson Lighthouse and the Whaler’s Bluff Lighthouse during your visit.
Portland Museums
Portland’s history is also worth exploring, and you can do that at its tiny museums. The Portland Cable Trams Museum and Portland Maritime Discovery Centre are popular with visitors of all ages.
Great South West Walk
If you’re a passionate hiker looking for a different kind of adventure, you have to try one of Australia’s most popular long-distance tracks—the Great South West Walk. It covers 250 kilometers, and Portland serves as its starting and finishing point.
Bridgewater Blowholes
If you’re in the mood for a short road trip while in Portland, make sure to visit this unusual sandstone formation on the shores of Cape Bridgewater.
