A key book on the history of Welshpool and Port Welshpool is ‘Welshpool: The Story of a Gippsland Port and Town’ by Donald John Linforth which can be found at the National Library of Australia (https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/catalog/6616277).
Jetty
[edit | edit source]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.[1] 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.[2]
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.[3]
