Port Melbourne

Port Melbourne is a stylish blend of the old and the new – once a concentration of transport and manufacturing industry, today it’s a buzzing bayside suburb transformed by striking residential developments alongside restored public buildings and workers’ cottages.

Tree-lined Bay Street has a fascinating collection of old fashioned pubs, hotels and historic buildings housing specialist retailers, boutiques and contemporary eateries. You’ll also find a large number of film and recording studios, as well as publishers and production houses in the area.

Since the 1830s, Port Melbourne has been the arrival point for millions of shipping passengers. Today, Station Pier is the docking point for the Spirit of Tasmania ferry service from Devonport, Tasmania, and for international cruise ships, which are in port between November and March each year.

Year-round, walkers, runners and cyclists pound the palm-lined path that hugs the Port Melbourne foreshore, and continues all the way through St Kilda to Frankston.

Melbourne's changeable climate is renowned, with the more marked seasonal changes giving the city its European feel. Large-scale immigration contributes to the diverse mix of cultures, foods and people, which make Melbourne the cosmopolitan city that it is today. more
