 Tour on one of the old moored boating vessels such as the HMAS Castlemaine, a WWII minesweeper that was actually built at Williamstown in 1941 and is now converted into a maritime museum, covering all historical points of Williamstown.
Every 3rd Sunday monthly, a craft Market is held on the Commonwealth Reserve Park where you can grab a souvenir and some locally made wares and treats.
