HMAS Castlemaine
Went down to Williamstown and had a look at the museum ship HMAS Castlemaine,
A Bathurst class Corvette that was laid down 17th Feb, 1941 and decommissioned 14th Dec 1945.
Used as a immobilised training hulk until 1973 when it was turned into a museum ship and berthed at Williamstown where it is today.
Tried some fancy editing (for me anyway) in this video.

HMAS Castlemaine in Victoria State 2014
HMAS Castlemaine (J244/M244/A248), named for the city of Castlemaine, Victoria, was one of 60 Bathurst class corvettes constructed during World War II, and one of 36 initially manned and commissioned solely by the Royal Australian Navy.
Launched in 1941 and commissioned in 1942, Castlemaine operated during World War II in the waters of Australia, New Guinea, and Timor. She remained in service until 1945, when she was decommissioned into reserve and converted into an immobilised training ship.
Castlemaine is presently berthed at Gem Pier, Williamstown, Victoria, adjacent to the historic Customs House. The ship is not capable of sailing, as the main mess deck houses a museum, and the engines have been converted to run on compressed air, displaying their mechanical operation to visitors.

Melbourne (Yarra River) & Port Philip Bay Cruise to (Williamstown) (Gem Pier) - Part 4/4
Join me on this exciting Yarra River Boat Cruise continuing towards the Williamstown Gem Pier ( Melbourne Australia) January 2019.
Gem Pier is an historic pier on Port Phillip Bay, in Williamstown, Victoria, Australia. The pier is 145 metres (476 ft) in length and is currently home to the (Williamstown ship museum) - HMAS Castlemaine and Melbourne Seaplanes.
The first pier was built in 1839 near the present-day Gem Pier. Originally known as The Jetty, in 1853 it was renamed Old Pier following the construction of the New Pier (the Ann Street Pier). Throughout the 1860s and 1870s it was known as Steamboat Pier. In the 1870s it was renamed Gem Pier after the paddle steamer Gem that ran a ferry service from Williamstown to Port Melbourne from 1846 to 1886.
The pier was rebuilt in 1992.
