Port Welshpool, Victoria
Port Welshpool is a town in the South Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. It is located 191 km south-east of Melbourne, on Corner Inlet and in 2006 had a population of 191.
Jetty
The jetty was reconstructed prior to World War II to facilitate the berthing of naval vessels, and is the third-longest wooden jetty still standing in Australia.[2] It reverted to commercial uses after the war, but a fire on the pier in June 2003 resulted in WorkSafe Victoria issuing a closure notice.[3]
The jetty has since been re-furbished in 2019–2020 and now open for tourism, along with a plan for Victoria's first underwater observatory.[4]
