Robe Customs House Maritime Museum

This iconic Robe building was erected in 1863 to serve one of the busiest ports on the southern coast of Australia – for several years the customs revenue collected here was second only to Port Adelaide, and some 16,500 Chinese landed here on their way to the Victorian goldfields in the mid 1800s.
