Williamstown

Nestled at the mouth of the Yarra River, Williamstown is a port town rich in colonial and maritime history. For over 150 years, it has stood on the salty shores of Hobsons Bay and Port Phillip Bay, preserving its heritage landmarks. The bluestone Old Morgue, constructed by convicts in 1859, and the 19th-century Timeball Tower at Point Gellibrand, which still operates today, are key sites that offer visitors a tangible connection to the past. Strolling through the town, one can explore these enduring structures and immerse in the historical ambiance that defines Williamstown.
