Port Albert Transportation

Port Albert is 225 km from Melbourne. Head out of town along the South Gippsland Highway and after about an hour's driving you can take a short detour off the road at Cranbourne and visit the new Australia Garden being created there as an offshoot of Melbourne's Royal Botanic Garden. Allow yourslf an hour or so to walk around this stunning site and then have a coffee in the cafe before continuing on your way south.

Your next stop could be Coal Creek Heritage Village at Korumburra, about half way along your route to Port Albert, but you could end up spending all day there, there's so much to see in this historical village that recreates the early days of Gippsland's coal industry. Better perhaps to pick up a few brochures and leaflets on Port Albert and Gippsland from the information centre and then keep on driving down the highway, passing through small towns and villages such as Foster and Port Welshpool, until you reach the Port Albert turnoff.
