ABOUT OUR TOWNS AND DISTRICT

Our town's proud history ( courtesy Queenscliff Historical Society.)

The site of the township of Queenscliff has been known to Europeans since the discovery of Port Phillip by A/g Lieut, John Murray in 1802 and the visit by Mathew Flinders shortly after, but the only recorded early landing on the town site was by scientists from Flinders party.

European settlement dates back to 1838 when George Tobin built huts on the beach and began pilot operations with a whale boat and four men. 

The early origins of Point Lonsdale date back to 1863 when the first lighthouse for mariners was erected with the area now occupied by the township was established as a battery reserve used in the defence of the then young colony.

Today, both towns host a small permanent populations, with fishing and tourism the key industries, yet both town's play host to many visitors from intrastate, interstate and overseas. Indeed both Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale are popular with many Melbournian's and people from other towns and cities who have established holiday homes.

While Queenscliff is the terminus of the Bellarine Highway (B110) a scheduled daily passenger / vehicle ferries provides a link to the Mornington Peninsula township of Sorrento offering visitors the opportunity to circumnavigate Port Phillip Bay.
