The day we went there was Family festival. A great event for parents and kids alike. Nice sea side area- we went by train as it was cheaper than the ferry, but the ferry ride (from Southbank) would also be good and was well patronized. We also walked to the beachfront and on the way watched a bit of "Aussie... More

Great place to explore walking along the waterfront and along the heritage buildings. Lots of food choices but we enjoy finishing with fish and chips. The ferry trip is a joy even in cooler weather see web site http://www.williamstownferries.com.au/ More
