Home of the Altona Laverton Historical Society and located within Logan Reserve. Fascinating local history museum and like a step back in time

Williamstown is one of the oldest settlements in Victoria. Nelson Place was, for many years, the heart of Williamstown. There is much to enjoy. The most popular feature is HMAS Castlemaine, a corvette built in the Williamstown Naval Dockyards in World War II. For all its travels, HMAS Castlemaine has now returned to Gem Pier, be moored close to where it was constructed. I took one of my friends from Perth, who loved the sea, to go over it every time he visited Melbourne. HMAS Castlemaine is open for inspection, check on opening times, which vary. A modest fee is charged.

Temperance movements had great influence in the latter part of the 19th Century. They wanted to ban the demon drink. Rev. George Wilkinson, of the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, decided that he would sponsor a water fountain so people could drink water, not grog.This is a fine example of Victorian public architecture, said to be the first memorial water fountian in Melbourne. It is a handsome structure, well worth a look. It's in Nelson Place, not far frorm Gem Pier.

I remember when the bridge came down and after all these years never knew there was a memorial. Despite lots of cones around it and not being very welcoming I decided to explore anyway. I took a moment to remember what it must have been like but frankly I cannot comprehend what it must have been for those men and women who were involved in this tragedy. There is a nice park nearby to explore as well. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Small parking area.
