With Ballarat having the reputation of being one of Australia’s most haunted cities why night take a ghost tour of Ballarat at night. Eerie Ghost tours operates a weekend ghost tour of Ballarat.

1/ Sovereign Hill
Without a doubt the number one tourist attraction in Ballarat is Sovereign Hill. It has been voted Australia’s best ‘Major Tourist Attraction’ multiple times. A theme park set back as an 1850’s gold mining town. Learn to pan for gold in a replica river. Go underground on some the gold mining tours. Watch people preforming chores dressed in period costumes. See how they make candy the old way. Some other popular attractions at Sovereign Hill include the Red Coat Soldiers musket firing, horse and coach rides, bowling, candle making, getting and old photo taken and other street activities.

4K The Floral Tram and The Ballarat Tramway Museum
English - The Ballarat Tramway Museum is located around Lake Wendouree in Ballarat which is 110km west of Melbourne. The Ballarat system opened in 1887 and closed in 1971.
The current museum opened to public passengers in December 1974.
In this video you will see various trams that used to run on the Ballarat system and a number of trams directly brought up from The MMTB in Melbourne. We also take a look around the museum.
The purpose of the visit was to see the Floral Tram which was launched on the day I visited the museum. The Floral Tram is made of recycled plastic bottles and other recycled material.
Sadly a week or so later at The Begonia Festival, The Floral Tram was involved in an accident with a car and will probably never run again.

Take a ride with the Motorman on a Ballarat Tramway Museum tramcar during the autumn of 2014. The tram leaves our Carlton St terminus and travels through to the north terminus of St Aidans Drive in Wendouree Parade Ballarat, Victoria. Although a quiet day, it shows the track the Museum operates on. The roadway around the Depot Junction has since been rebuilt to provide a safer path for cyclists using Wendouree Parade.

This tram was recently overhauled (~2016)
This tram has a similar interior to most historic Melbourne trams which is divided into three sections.

Ballarat, Victoria
Ballarat is a small city located about 90km west of Melbourne. After gold was discovered in the 1850s, towns like Ballarat sprung up. The many grand Victorian buildings showcase the sheer wealth pouring into the state at the time.
BALLARAT VICTORIA AUSTRALIA AA
The site of the city was originally a stock station established by William Cross Yuille and Henry Anderson in 1838 and named Ballarat (originally under the spelling Ballaarat), which was derived from local aboriginal dialect meaning 'resting place'. Settlement flourished in the early 1850s when gold was discovered. With a huge influx of population and wealth as a major participant in the Gold Rush, Ballarat was, for a time, Victoria's largest city. During the last 50 years of the 19th century Ballarat prospered on gold mining. The confidence of the city's early citizens is evident in the scale and opulence of many of the early public buildings, public recreational spaces, commercial establishments and housing. The period from the 1880's to the early 20th century witnessed a successful transition from a gold rush town to an industrial age city. WIKIPEDIA
