Williamstown

We haven't been out for a while, but it was a sunny Sunday, my grants are all done, Debbie's hair was looking nice, Sarah had already had her stay at home day....there were no excuses. Williamstown was in our crosshairs.

Dale's view
 The Hobson's Bay Yacht Club. Established in 1888 (just in case you weren't paying attention)
 Ferguson St Pier - site of Debbie's camera lens cover vanishing...(actually, it was my camera lens that Debbie had borrowed, but I must say I was very gracious and complained not one iota).
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip
That started from a tropic port about this tiny ship. (apologies to those who have never seen Gilligan's island).
 Four beautiful Monaros all in a row
 A pavilion on Commonwealth Reserve off Nelson Place
 The HMAS Castlemaine - a WW2 minesweeper, built at the local shipyards, now a maritime museum, permanently moored on Gem Pier.
 One of Williamstown's many old waterfront buildings - now a restaurant - Remvi by the bay.
 The 'former' Royal Hotel, Nelson Place.
 A nice little pub "The Stag's Head" on corner Ann St and Cecil St. The poor old 'Stag' is missing an antler, but you can't tell from the photo.
 Some typical lovely old Williamstown houses, Cecil St
 St Mary's church, primary school, and powerline...Cecil St
 A little flash of red and green
 Where industry, oil and gulls meet the beach
Williamstown beach. Apparently a nice place to swim, at least back in the 19th century...
 The former lighthouse, then timeball tower, on the edge of Williamstown beach
Tanks by the sea...
The Titanic theatre restaurant - formerly the Prince of Wales Hotel. Apparently the sinking of the titanic is reenacted, complete with music, dinner and dancing. We avoided the temptation.
