Port Welshpool is a town in theSouth Gippsland region ofVictoria,Australia. It is located 191 km south-east ofMelbourne, onCorner Inlet and in 2006 had a population of 191.
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 inWorkSafe Victoria issuing a closure notice.[3]
