Williamstown has something for everyone and all budgets. Take a picnic to one of the many parks or choose from many restaurants, pubs and cafes to suit every budget. Great shopping with lots of interesting boutiques. Wonderful views of the Melbourne CBD skyscape! More

Not bad but a little bland. Some parts are beautiful but can get very crowded on a nice day. Popular with wedding parties for photos. More

A step back in time with a graceful garden that holds many significant and historic trees. There are lovely spots just to relax or enjoy a picnic. Look out for the activities for children, particularly storytime under the golden elm. More
