Only deep-sea port between Melbourne and Adelaide. During the early 1800s Portland developed as a main sealing and whaling port. This industry declined after 1840 when the number of whales decreased. Lush pastures north of Portland were used for grazing in the 1830s and 1840s. Due to the development of agriculture a shipping outlet for exports was established thus contributing to the town's economy. Today 64% of Victoria's lobster catches come from Portland's waters.
