Ballarat Travel Guide - Australia Charming Experience
Ballarat Travel Guide - Australia Charming Experience
Ballarat is one of the greatest gold-mining towns on earth, and the mineral continues to provide most of the town's major attractions, even long after the end of the gold rush. It’s easy to see the proceeds of that boom time in the monumental Victorian-era buildings around the city centre. In terms of population Ballarat is the third largest inland city in Australia. Just months after Victoria was granted separation from the state of New South Wales, the Victorian gold rush transformed Ballarat from a small sheep station to a major settlement. Gold was discovered on 18 August 1851, and news quickly spread of rich alluvial fields where gold could easily be extracted. Unlike many other gold boom towns, the Ballarat fields experienced sustained high gold yields for many decades, which can be evidenced to this day in the city's rich architecture.
The city is famous for the 1854 tax-revolt known as the Eureka Rebellion. In response to this event the first male suffrage in Australia was instituted and as such Eureka is interpreted by some as the origin of democracy in Australia. The rebellion's symbol, the Eureka Flag, has become a national symbol and is held at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka in Ballarat.
Ballarat lies at the foothills of the Great Dividing Range in Central Western Victoria. Also known as the Central Highlands, it is named so because of its gentle hills and lack of any significant mountains that are more common in the eastern sections of the Great Dividing Range. The city lies within a mostly gently undulating section of the midland plains which stretch from Creswick in the north, to Rokewood in the south, and from Lal Lal in the south-east to Pittong in the west.
A significant heritage tourism industry has not grown substantially in Ballarat since the 1960s. Ballarat is most notable for the award-winning open-air museum known as Sovereign Hill, a recreated 1850s gold mining settlement opened in 1970. Sovereign Hill is Ballarat's biggest tourism drawcard and is consistently rated among one of the best outdoor museums in the world and continues to expand. Sovereign Hill accounts for over half a million of Ballarat's visitors and $40 million in tourism revenue.
Several businesses and attractions have capitalised on Ballarat's gold mining history. They include Kryal Castle (1972), Gold Rush Mini Golf (2002) featuring the Big Miner (2006) one of Australia's big things (although the original proposal appeared larger and for the miner to hold the Eureka Flag) at Ballarat's eastern entrance.
Other tourist attractions include the Eureka Centre; The Gold Museum, Ballarat; Ballarat Botanic gardens and Lake Wendouree; the Museum of Australian Democracy; the Ballarat Tramway Museum and Ballarat Ghost Tours and Ballarat Wildlife Park. A large number of Ballarat hotels, motels and restaurants service the tourism industry. The Ballarat Tourist Association is an industry based non-profit, membership organisation representing the city's tourism industry. Ballarat honours its rich history by hosting a number of annual festivals with historical and cultural focus including the Ballarat Begonia Festival, Ballarat Heritage Weekend and Ballarat Beat Rockabilly Festival.

Ballarat Botanical Gardens
Pit stop at the Ballarat Botanical Gardens, on the way to the gold fields.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Ballarat Botanical Gardens covers 40 hectares divided into three distinct zones - the central Botanical Gardens which preserves the 'gardenesque' style of the Victorian pleasure garden, and open parkland buffers on either side are known as the North and South Gardens.
The Ballarat Botanical Gardens is one of Australias most significant cool climate gardens, containing a remarkable collection of mature trees and marble statues set among colourful bedding displays. Located on the western shore of Lake Wendouree, approximately 4km from Ballarat CBD, the Gardens is an invaluable heritage and recreational resource.
Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. A day trip with the family - art gallery, playground and wildlife
Historic Ballarat in less than one and half hour's drive from Melbourne and is chock full of things to do for families. There's Kryal Castle, Sovereign Hill and the Eureka Stockade. But we didn't do any of those things. We went to the Art Gallery of Ballarat to see Into The Light - collection of French masterworks - mostly impressionistic paintings from the Musée de la Chartreuse in Douai in Northern France. On display were works by Renoir, Sisely, Signac, Sidaner and some Australian artists living in France in the late 19th century.
This exhibition has now closed but the Art Gallery always has something on the go so check it out.
After visiting the gallery we went down to Wendouree Park and lake and played in the playground, strolled by the lake, and talked to the black swans.

Ballarat Wildlife Park Tour: We feed a CASSOWARY!
Hi honeys!
We took a tour of Ballarat Wildlife Park, fed a cassowary (danger chicken), and saw lots of amazing Aussie creatures. I hope you enjoy watching, we really loved our time there!
Thank you so much for your patience at the start of this year with my slow uploading – I actually filmed this in January but have been in and out of hospital due to Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I’m doing much better now on new blood pressure medication, so I’ll be around more (hopefully)!
Thanks for watching!

Kookaburra Bird Killing Its Prey Raw Footage | Ballarat | Victoria | Australia
This was one of unique things I have ever seen in Australia. I hope you will also be amazed to see this. This was shot yesterday, 24th November, 2019 when we travelled to Ballarat Wildlife Park and while we were just about to leave, we saw this bird sitting outside holding a rat in its beak and hitting it hard to ensure that it is killed. When I saw this, I could not resist capturing this for all of you to see. As you can see the rat is already dead but still the Kookaburra bird is not convinced and is slamming it hard on the wood. This is the raw footage of the video that I captured without any edits.
Kookaburras are terrestrial tree kingfishers of the genus Dacelo native to Australia and New Guinea, which grow to between 28–42 cm (11–17 in) in length. The name is a loanword from Wiradjuri guuguubarra, onomatopoeic of its call. The loud distinctive call of the laughing kookaburra is widely used as a stock sound effect in situations that involve an Australian bush setting or tropical jungle, especially in older movies. For more details on Kookaburra visit wikipedia link
