Port joins Open House Melbourne
Join us for a closer look at the Port of Melbourne – Saturday 28 July
The Port of Melbourne is gearing up again for another fantastic day of boat tours for Open House Melbourne 2018 on Saturday 28 July. Port boat tours are fun, family-friendly events. They are the best way to see Australia's busiest port, right on the city's doorstep.
Featuring a guided commentary from port staff, boat tours will be running every hour, between 10 am and 3 pm.
Like most Open House events, we won't be taking advance bookings for these tours. Make sure you arrive early (at least 20 minutes before departure) to try and beat the queues. Once on board we'll show Australia's busiest and largest container and general cargo port like you've never seen it before.
Visit Open House Melbourne for all the details.

Trump has asserted that the Chinese have been surreptitiously devaluing their currency to boost their already substantial trade advantage, as does the ECB, leading to a new front to the economic war. There is no such thing as boring in the world according to Trump! ... read more |  |
