Port Welshpool is a tiny town (or maybe a suburb) part of/ near to Welshpool itself in South Eastern Victoria. It seems to cater mostly to the tourist trade and is well set up for summer visitors. Fishing is of course huge here. It's pretty quiet at this time of year and we were the only temporary residents in the (LONG PIER) caravan park. The weather was rough and squally, with clouds flying through the sky, high winds and rain occuring every few minutes. Chris was hoping for sunshine and we were not able to find any (to make matters worse- everyone at home reported beautiful springtime weather).
The LONG Pier... (currently closed but the subject of community meetings re. restoration)

Taking the tourist drive through the beautiful little town of Welshpool, we headed into the hills towards the impressive windfarm and Agnes Falls. Agnes Falls is the highest single span falls (59 Metres) in Victoria. The water originates in the Strzelecki Ranges before flowing into the Agnes River. The area is known for plantation forest and farmland and has an annual rainfall of over 1200mm. Much of which seemed to fall during our visit!
