Some years later the area was logged for timber, then cattle were introduced. The main street is named after the Mountjoy family who owned a cattle station running through the area.

Nelson is where the Glenelg River reaches the sea. It's at the very start (or the end) of the Great Ocean Road, just an hour's drive from Portland; a charming village with a relaxed atmosphere offering fantastic outdoor and water activities.The Glenelg River rises in the Grampians some 400 kms to the north and when it reaches the sea its placid waters are ideal for canoeing and fishing from the special camping grounds specially equipped for extended stays. The village is well equipped with boat launching ramps along the river.
