Where the past and present of regional Australia meet
Just over an hour’s drive from Melbourne, Ballarat is full of history, gold-rush excitement and modern fun. From gold-rush beginnings, this vibrant city now boasts a greatfoodie, arts and cultural scenes, and natural beauty. It’s also the home of Australia’s only “medieval castle.” Start your day off at one of the city’s many delicious cafes, before experiencing the deep historical roots of the town. The Museum of Australian Democracy is located at the site of the famous Eureka Stockade, a crucial chapter in Australian history.
Next, head to Sovereign Hill, an award-winning open-air museum and historical park, for a taste of gold-rush history that will have you feeling as if you’d stepped right back into the 1850s. With period storefronts, character actors dressed in the fashions of the day, and even a fully-guided gold-mine tour, this entertaining, immersive and authentic experience is one of Victoria’s most exciting attractions.
Just outside of Ballarat, you’ll find Kryal Castle, the immersive medieval theme park brings a mythical land of magic, knights, dragons, kings, queens and princesses to life. Back in town, there’s plenty to enchant art appreciators including the James Egan Gallery (a master painter whose art also hangs at Buckingham Palace).
There’s also numerous chance to interact with your favourite native animals at the Wildlife Park or Bird World. The Botanic Gardens and Lake Wendouree both offer a fantastic backdrop for a relaxed walk stroll.
Ballarat has something for everyone, from the urban explorer to the history buff and even the gourmet connoisseur. It’s a popular getaway for Melbournites with good reason: this exciting regional destination will have you looking forward to your next visit.
