This beautiful maritime village sits snugly at the mouth of the Yarra River. With a proud history as Melbourne’s first seaport, boats and yachts colour its shores. Many of Williamstown’s historic buildings have developed into thriving restaurants, galleries and hotels.

Grab a gelati or coffee and take a stroll along the shore or piers, or immerse yourself in the town’s fascinating maritime history. Most importantly, enjoy Williamstown’s spectacular view of Melbourne’s skyline – it’s amazing!

Southgate is Melbourne’s premier restaurant, shopping and entertainment hub. Located on the banks of the Yarra River and opposite the famous and historic Flinders Street Station, this precinct offers high quality food, fashion items, and films. It also functions as the gateway from the river to Melbourne’s theatre and art precinct.

As for Melbourne itself… well, who are we to argue with its status as the World’s Most Livable City? Melbourne is the cultural capital of Australia, with its thriving fashion, food, coffee, sport, film, art and music scenes.

You’ll find a surprise around every corner, in every basement, and on every rooftop of this bustling metropolis! Explore the city’s multiple and colourful laneways, enjoy a meal in Chinatown, taste some of the country’s finest coffee, stroll along the banks of the Yarra River, or treat yourself to a high-end shopping spree on the beautiful Collins Street (A.K.A. Little Paris).

Melbourne is also home to some of the finest cultural experiences Australia has to offer, from football and cricket matches at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to live gigs at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, and stunning orchestral performances at Hamer Hall. This eclectic and stylish city has something to offer for everyone!

There are no two ways about it – the Yarra River is a Melbourne icon. The river is even celebrated annually at Melbourne’s Moomba Festival! Some of Melbourne’s most prominent places – including Flinders Street Station, Southbank, Crown Casino, Melbourne Arts Centre and Federation Square – can be seen along its banks.
