Newport Railway Museum

The Railway Museum has a large collection of steam, diesel, and electric locomotives spanning over 100 years of Victoria's railway history, as well as a variety of passenger and goods carriages, several railway cranes, signalling and other equipment. It also features a 1950s O scale model railway with hand-made models of various Victorian Railways trains. We are currently open 12 to 5pm every Saturday, and also open 12 to 5pm on Sundays during school holidays. We are also able to open the museum during the week for group bookings such as school excursions or club visits.

I can still vaguely remember visiting my Grandma in the country in a train pulled by a steam engine. Working steam trains are rare these days. You can relive those days in the Railway Museum, where the engines range from minnows to leviathams of the Steam Age. You can scramble around by yourself, check opening times before you go as it is not often open. The Museum is a short walk from the North Williamstown railway station.

Williamstown Botanic Gardens

Nestled by the sea, complete with rare trees, a formal palm avenue and a charming Edwardian ornamental lake amongst its many attractions, the Williamstown Botanic Gardens, opened in 1860, is a peaceful place to enjoy a picnic, stroll the intricate pathways or relax and daydream on the green lawns. A few minutes from the Williamstown Beach Railway Station, the gardens have gravel paths providing good accessibility. Open all year. Beach and facilities nearby. Free.

Williamstown is on Hobsons Bay; it is one of the earliest Melbourne suburbs. The Williamstown Botanic Gardens are well established, with many mature European trees. The Williamstown Botanic Gardens are on of the oldest planned gardens in Melbourne. The trees and architectural features make it a favorite venue for photography, in particular wedding photos in spring when the weather is clement

Williamstown Beach

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

Williamstown Beach is golden, a safe beach for all the family. In summer, the beach is patrolled by lifesavers. It's one of Melbourne's favourite bay beaches; it's not too big and not too small. You can get a good view towards Melbourne across the Bay. It's not far from the Williamstown Beach railway station. If you just want a placid beach for children to have a splash, it's.ideal.

Williamstown Bay and River Cruises

We are now located just downstream of the Evan Walker Walkbridge on Southbank. If you are walking over the walkbridge from the back of Flinders st Station, look to the right. From the bottom of Southgate Ave, facing the walkbridge, we are on the left. Look for our attendant who is there to assist you.

We took this day trip with extended family from interstate and had a fantastic time. The staff were friendly and helpful and the smaller boat meant a more personalised experience. They were very flexible and accommodating when we wanted to change our return journey time at the last minute (poor weather was coming). Booking online was easy and efficient.
