About Nelson
Nelson is a small, picturesque fishing and holiday township of about 350 people located at the mouth of the Glenelg River in the south-western corner of Victoria. It is 4 1/2 hours drive - (433 km) west of Melbourne and a couple of kilometres from the South Australian border, 5 1/2 hours drive from Adelaide.

A Little Bit of History
Major Mitchell explored the area during his Australia Felix expedition of 1836. His party were the first Europeans to investigate the Glenelg River. A punt service carried people across the river at the townsite from 1849.

Nelson was named after the survey ship, the Lady Nelson, which was used by Lieutenant Grant to explore the southern coastline at the very start of the 19th century. It was later affected by border disputes between NSW and South Australia which caused delays in the final settlement of the surveys in 1913.
