Picture Australia

Have come across Picture Australia which Picture Victoria is a contributor of.

As the name indicates it covers all of Australia with contributors from all states.

Do a search for Williamstown Victoria that will keep you occupied a while

The journey that matters- the facts we accumulate along the way

I have added a podcast from the State Library it goes for about 60 mins but is a story of history, of the family historian becoming the internet junkie, a history of communication, an introduction to ancestry.com, the genealogist. So find the time and have a listen.
Ancestry.com is available in the branches @ Hobsons Bay Libraries but you can sign up on line for a free trial too.

Take a look, go to maps.google.com.au and search for 101 Ferguson St Williamstown and then click on street view.
Guess What, its Willy Library and if you zoom in the blinds are closed, branch not open.
But think, have you got an ancestral home in Williamstown or an older area.
Now you can check out what Great Auntie Wilmas house looks like today, if its still there or been knocked down and replaced.
