Portland Bay is a small bay off the coast of Victoria, Australia. It is about west of Melbourne. The main town on the bay is also named Portland. The western end of the bay is marked by the headland of Point Danger. The bay was named after the Duke of Portland, a Secretary of State and later Prime Minister of Great Britain, by Lieutenant James Grant sailing on the ''Lady Nelson'', on 7 December 1800.〔, cited in Bird (2006)〕〔 〕 The town of Portland later took its name from the bay.〔 The Convincing Ground massacre is alleged to have occurred in Portland Bay in 1833 or 1834 in a dispute about a beached whale between whalers and the ''Kilcarer gundidj'' clan of the Gunditjmara people. ==References==
