A historical landmark showcasing the best of regional Victoria
Visiting Ballarat is a lot like striking gold with the plethora of family-friendly activities, heritage and flawlessly preserved Victorian-era architecture on offer. Best known as being central to the Victorian gold rush of the 1850s, while other booming towns of that era have fallen away, Ballarat continues to be the prosperous metropolis of central Victoria.
One of Ballarat's standout features is its built environment, which was officially recognised on the world stage in 2003, when the city was inducted as just one of three Australian representatives in The International League of Cities (alongside Melbourne, Adelaide's Norwood Payneham and St Peters). Take a stroll through the Ballarat Botanical Gardens, which are some of Australia's finest, while Sturt Street Gardens is one of Australia's most beautiful avenues with bandstands, fountains, statues and memorials dotted throughout the two-kilometre stretch of uninterrupted gardens.
Arts and culture are one of the main features of Ballarat with the Art Gallery of Ballarat said to house Australia's best art collection outside of the capital cities. Other highlights include the Post Office Gallery and The Lost Ones, a leading contemporary art space and creative makers studio.
Sovereign Hill remains a favourite pastime for many kids growing up in Victoria, and shouldn't be missed if you take your little ones to Ballarat. Bringing back to life the excitement of the gold rush, Sovereign Hill lets you pan for real gold, visit the underground mine and meet characters playing gold-rush era citizens. Also on show are talented craftsman demonstrating skills from a bygone age and a tempting confectionary factory. As the sun sets, Sovereign Hill is lit up with an extravagant sound-and-light show dramatizing the 1854 Eureka Uprising.
With something to see and do wherever you look in Ballarat, don't miss out on visiting this eccentric community.
