Overview

Alberton is a modest riverside town in Victoria, positioned on the South Gippsland Highway just 7 km south of Yarram and 216 km east of Melbourne. At the 2021 Census the community numbered 297 residents, many of whom live in a blend of historic homes dating back to the late 1800s and more recent dwellings that followed the town’s railway‑driven expansion. The Albert River flows through the centre, supporting the small‑scale cattle grazing that still defines the local economy and provides a quiet, rural lifestyle.

Essential amenities include the enduring Victoria Hotel (built 1889) and an elementary school that celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2008, offering education close to home. Although the former Alberton railway station is now closed, the town remains well‑connected by the highway, and nearby facilities such as the Alberton Post Office and the Jack River tributary reinforce its community feel.
