Portland About, Rotary Club of Portland website. Accessed 27-11-2008. This account says «Surveyor and explorer Thomas Mitchell visited Portland Bay during his
search for good pasturage south of the Murray River in August 1836. He
was amazed to find the settlement in existence. Indeed when an
Aboriginal guide asserted that he could see houses and a ship at anchor
Mitchell was disbelieving. However, when a boot print and broken bottle
were found in the sand, and cattle tracks nearby, he was convinced and
so named the beach area the 'Convincing Ground', by which name it is
still known today.»
