| | Alberton Wharf Street | | National Trust - Victoria refers to an ex-Bank of Victoria at this address.
2009 July Geoff Chapman advised: "No trace of a Wharf Street in Alberton. Very little there apart from very large Victoria Hotel. There is a Wharf Street in Port Albert where a branch was conducted.
Alberton was "booming" before 1897 when the local Shire moved to Yarram, 5Km away, and Alberton went into a steep decline. The "Australian Handbook" of 1904 stated that the Bank of Victoria operated in Alberton each Thursday. This would probably have been as a R/0 of Yarram Branch." | Ararat 114 Barkly Street | 1967

2009 July Google photo sourced by Geoff Chapman of the modern nab branch on the site of the earlier branch. The branch as pictured in 1967 has been demolished. A modern nab branch now occupies the site. I am unaware if the building dates to pre-1982 or if it was a CBC branch pre merger. | Avoca | | 1929 December 6 Listed in The Week, Brisbane advertising page 35. 1934 Listed in Century of Banking; 1975 Listed in Annual Report Photo sourced by Geoff Chapman who says the signage indicates it was Bank of Victoria, Avoca. |
