In the late 1800's, Williamstown was a major town with Victoria's economy dependent on its port facilities. Only the lack of a fresh water source prevented Williamstown becoming the capital of Victoria. Rediscover Williamstown's past with a leisurely one-hour walk around the historic seaport with a local guide. See and hear all about Gem Pier, The Morge, Hotels, Point Gellibrand, The Timeball Tower, National Trust buildings and other areas of local interest. Bookings are advisable. In addition to the regular Sunday tours, school groups and coach tours can be arranged on request.
