Every Friday for 8 weeks we attended wonderful training sessions to become a Waterfront Welcomer, so on the 27th October we were ready to welcome our first of many visitors to our wonderful City of Port Melbourne.
After setting up our banners and brochures we waited for the passengers to disembark the Noordam. For about 3 hours we engaged with many International and Australian visitors needing assistance with many and varied requests, and for those who had no real plans a free rickshaw ride to Bay Street for some retail therapy and a bite to eat was a great success.
Overall, judging by the feedback from some returning visitors the information and advice given by us was well received, also they were pleasantly surprised that this was a voluntary service as they have not experienced this in any other port.
I had lots of fun and I am looking forward to my next shift. "
