Ballarat

Ballarat - Location Report

QUINTESSENTIAL BALLARAT

Ballarat was built on gold and it’s easy to see the proceeds of those days in the grand Victorian-era architecture around the city centre. The single biggest attraction here is the fabulous, re-created gold-mining village at Sovereign Hill, but there’s plenty more in this busy provincial city to keep you occupied, including grand gold-mining-era architecture and a stunning new museum dedicated to the Eureka Stockade.
