Overview

Alberton is a quiet cattle‑grazing community in South Gippsland, with a recorded population of 297 at the 2021 census. The town sits beside the Albert River, offering a riverside backdrop for residents and visitors. A primary school, established in 1858 and celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2008, provides local education for families. The historic Victoria Hotel, built in 1890, remains a focal point for hospitality and social gatherings.

Alberton sits on the South Gippsland Highway, 7 km south of Yarram and 216 km east of Melbourne, providing straightforward road links. A former railway station lies less than a kilometre away, recalling the town’s historic rail connection. While many businesses moved to Yarram after the shire offices shifted in 1897, Alberton still shows a mix of 19th‑century homes and newer houses built during the railway boom. The nearby Alberton Post Office and the Jack River tributary are within half a kilometre.
