Port Albert was the original terminus of the South Gippsland railway and opened in Jan 1892.
Alberton - Port Albert closed in 1949. When the line was built from Alberton to Yarram and Woodside in 1921, Port Albert was no longer a terminus.

The station was at the northern outskirts of the town proper at Palmerston. There were efforts made by the locals to get VR to extend the line to the actual port.
Port Albert yard also had a narrow gauge tramway bringing in timber. Goodwood Tramway.
