This is Nelson Place in Williamstown where the city comes to soak up the atmosphere of footpath dining and waterfront views. This place is known for the bustling cafes, fine restaurants and coffee bars.
We decided to have our dinner at The Atomic Bar, a restaurant/bar that serves great foods. 
I had Fish and Chips because it is customary to have Fish and Chips when you come to Williamstown. I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture of my meal, sorry.
Along The Strand from Greenwich Reserve you can enjoy the best views of Melbourne's city skyline. It was a bit hazy that day but normally you do get very nice views here.
The city is only about 10 minutes drive from Williamstown via the Westgate Bridge and the Westgate Freeway.
While in Williamstown it would be a good idea to check out Port Gellibrand, just around the corner from the town center. This is a historical landmark when in 1835 Captain Robson Coltish landed and unloaded his shipment of sheeps and cattles from Launceston thus resulting in more ships arriving to this area and later Williamstown was established.
The beauty of Williamstown and the secret to it's wonderful eateries can be attributed to it's uncanny isolation at the point of Hobson's Bay. Williamstown is truly a surprise, it's historical architecture, seaport charm and fantastic vista across the bay to Melbourne all add to the enjoyment of eating the fine food on offer, food that is always served with a friendly Williamstown smile.

Hey, I notice something on the first pic. The park lot is very long. I think we can park two Kancils in one slot!
australian parking lots are damn wide. built for big cars, but then, lots of them are not. too much land to waste.
anyway, been to williamstown myself. very nice and chillin place.
5xmom-yes these are old roads which are very wide, waste of space.
