Williamstown on the Web Victoria Australia
	dedicated to Myles Cuddihy

On the 10th April 1837, the town of Williamstown was proclaimed.

Established as the port of Melbourne, the town flourished through the years of the gold rush. The people of Williamstown value their heritage, & amongst the buildings of this era of prosperity which remain intact, is one of oldest Post Offices in Victoria.

Isolated on its small peninsula from the main growth of the city, Williamstown has a sense of community which is rare in a modern city. The opening of West Gate Bridge lessened the isolation but despite a renewed interest from the rest of the world, this historic seaport retains its distinctive character.
