Port Of Sale, Gippsland’s Must-Visit Tourism Location

The Port of Sale was once considered a transport system of national importance as it connected the Gippsland region

Port of Sale has seen a significant redevelopment which saw the precinct reinvigorated to include entertainment, art, heritage, and leisure facilities.

With the growth of shipping on the Gippsland Lakes and the establishment of a railhead at Sale in 1879, schemes emerged to develop as Port of Sale.

A man-made canal was developed and completed in 1890, linking the township to the Gippsland Lakes system (via the Thomson and Latrobe rivers), and ultimately the open waters of Bass Strait.

The gradual demise of water transport over time, however, led to the decline of the port precinct and saw the town centre move further north – to the present-day location.

The development of extensive berthing/mooring facilities, a boardwalk, BBQ/picnic locations, and walking paths saw the Port revitalised – and become increasingly popular with both tourists and locals alike.

East of the Centre, the Borun & Tuk Aboriginal cultural walk was created, providing pedestrian access from Foster Street to the Port of Sale. The path includes lighting, landscaping, and culturally significant canoe seating, whilst also telling the Gunaikurnai creation story of Borun the pelican and Tuk the musk duck.
