Ballarat

LOCATION: HOME > REGIONS
> BALLARAT

The lovely historic gold mining town of
Ballarat is just 2 hours drive from the Melbourne CBD. Even today remnants of
its historic and colorful gold mining past can still be seen in many of the
lovely old buildings. The township was in full bloom during the Australian Gold
rush, and many of the attractions are reminders of the gold rush times. Unlike
Melbourne Ballarat has great weather variations, with very hot summer days, and
very cold winter days that may even include snow, thus you have to be prepared
for everything when you visit the town.
