The Port of Melbourne is again offering boat tours of the port this summer. They are now charging a fee but, at $5.50 + $1.20 booking fee, it's hardly expensive. Bookings must be done online and open 2-3 weeks before each tour.
Tours will be on 26 November, 25 February, and 29 April.
The February tour will depart from Williamstown and include a visit to the new container terminal and automotive trade facilities at Webb Dock as well as the crude oil terminal at Point Gellibrand so will be different to the tour that most residents would have been on before.
The November and April tours seem to be similar to previous tours, departing from Docklands and visiting Victoria Dock, Appleton Dock, and Swanson Dock.
