Williamstown is one of Melbourne's up
and coming trendy suburbs and also one of its oldest being
the city's first port.
The maritime theme continues today with the port still a
busy business and tourist area.
Williamstown's main street which hugs the waterfront boasts
some fantastic alfresco drinking and dining as well as some
great boutique shopping which are housed in some of the
oldest buildings in Victoria.

pumping station
Plenty of attractions can also be found in Williamstown if not
only for the sweeping views of Melbourne's city but also for
the port where you can visit several historic ships and the
old sewage pumping station which now houses the popular museum
"Scienceworks".
Williamstown will continue to be a tourist destination over
the next few years with plans for redevelopment of the port
and city park area into marinas, restaurants and heritage
areas.
