As one of few airports outside Melbourne within the state of Victoria, Portland provides unique access to southern Australia. Located fifteen minutes’ drive from the town itself, arrivals to the airport may choose instead to head west towards Discovery Bay – the watery entrance to The Great Australian Bight. The Discovery Bay Coastal Park is a solitary area with flourishing vegetation and an abundance of marine life.
Heading east from the airport will lead you to the Great Ocean Road: one of Australia’s most iconic coastal drives.
The town of Portland itself accommodates tourists easily, with plenty of recreational activities on offer. Whether you intend to stay a while or are just passing through, Portland has something to entertain for the duration of your stay.
