There was a great free camp at the boat ramp of Port Albert - a very historic port dating back to the 1840s, it was the port that help cattle get from Sydney to Gippsland, Sale and Hobart until the rail from Melbourne. It is supposedly one of the places in Victoria about to BOOM. We saw a few larger dwellings being built right on the coast. The marina was of a decent size and the channel out of the lakes to sea looked good.
We were told the fish and chips in Victoria were available at the end of the port - we tried them for lunch and they were indeed very very good - flake, chips and potato cakes cooked to perfection. Even the seagulls agreed!
The developed area of the port disappeared quickly in the landscape either side, giving way to swampy marshland mud flats where it would be difficult for much to survive - windswept, muddy, and quite desolate at times.
