Portland's tourist precinct is nestled around a working port, which can be viewed from one of the many cafes and restaurants along Bentinck Street. Portland's Cable Tram and its museum are a must do activity as they link Portland's Botanical Gardens, Victoria's second oldest botanical gardens, the Maritime Discovery Centre and the Watertower and Powerhouse museums. You can learn more of Portland's early history with a visit to the Ploughed Field and the Immigrants Wall(located on the clifftops), which is a short walk away. If you fancy a swim in the ocean then Nuns Beach is approximately 500 metres away. There are many walking tracks in and around the city and the Fawthrop Lagoon track offers easy walking with an opportunity to view the abundant birdlife.
