Top 10 Things to do in Ballarat Victoria Australia
If you plan on taking a holiday to Victoria Australia, one of the most popular tourist spots to visit outside of Melbourne is Ballarat. It does get a bit cooler than Melbourne, so take some warm clothes! One of the biggest festivals in Ballarat is their Winter Festival. Here they decorate laneways with colourful lights and have a pop up ice skating ring just off Sturt Street. One of the biggest events though is the Winter Wonderlights at Sovereign Hill. I’ll show more of this in the video guide to Ballarat.
In this video I will show you some of the best things to do in Ballarat for a family, couple or even solo traveller.
This is a list of Ballarat’s top tourist attractions
10. Ballarat Wildlife Park
The park was opened in 1987 and covers some 37 acres of natural bushland. If you want to see some natural Australian animals, Ballarat Wildlife Park has plenty, from free roaming kangaroos and emus – where you can hand feed these cute Australian animals. Learn about koalas on one of the guided tours. Get a selfie with a wombat. Watch Tasmanian devils getting fed. See giant tortoises, crocodiles and alligators. And of course the meerkats! Check out the reptile enclose for snakes and lizards. A great place to take the whole family in Ballarat.

Gold is what made this town and this museum gives a fascinating insight to Ballarat’s gold rush. If you buy a ticket to Sovereign Hill, you will get the ticket included to the museum.
6. Lake Wendouree.
This is a lovely spot to visit in Ballarat – enjoy a stroll around the lake, stop of one of the cafes or just enjoy the lovely gardens of the Botanic Gardens in Ballarat. Highlights to visit are the Prime Ministers Avenue, Adam Lindsay Gordon Cottage, the Australian Ex- Prisoner of War Memorial, the Ballarat Tramway Museum (try to take a tram ride by Lake Wendouree) and the 1956 Olympic Memorial.
5. Ballarat Ghost Tour.
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. Meet under the clock tower at Ballarat Railway Station for a spooky 2 hour walking ghost tour. Visit haunted spots and listen to ghost stories by the guide. A fun way to see Ballarat.

2. Kryal Castle.
One of the more popular things to do in Ballarat, especially for the family is Kryal Castle. Built as medieval castle just outside of town. Fun things to see the knights at the Tournament Arena. Here they joust on horseback and even sword fight. Watch the wizard make potions in his workshop. Visit the Torture Museum or get lost in the castle’s maze. There are places to eat and you can even stay overnight at one of their rooms. I will do another video on accommodation at Kryal Castle. Prices are listed on the website.
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. A great place to take the whole family - a great educational experience for kids to learn about history.
During Winter Sovereign Hill has its Winter Wonderlights Festival. This is a specular light show – that for me is a must do in Ballarat. The lights and snow effects make this truly a wonderful show to experience. During the festival they decorate Main Street shops with Christmas decorates, have a band playing Christmas Carols and you might even see Santa. One of the best Christmas in July events in Australia! A must for the family!

SYDNEY - BALMAIN ON A SUNNY AFTERNOON 12 08 18
BALMAIN ON A SUNNY AFTERNOON
It is the simple things that make me happy, and a lovely walk in the park, that was bathed in the warmth of wintery sun, so bright it was almost impossible to see. The sea was alive with brilliant sun rays, so dazzling, making the water hypnotic and glittery with the suns dazzling reflection.
Balmain is a gorgeous older suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is located approximately 6 km west of the Central Business District of the city of Sydney
Balmain is Located on the Balmain Penisula surrounded by Port Jackson, adjacent to the suburbs of Rozelle and Birchgrove, White Bay and Iron Cove.
Balmain once traditionally a Blue Collar district, was the place where the industrial roots of the Trade Unionist Movement began. The Australian Labour Party was also formed in Balmain in 1891. Property prices in Balmain are hugely expensive hence a new class of ownership has risen agains the older more traditional blue collar l residents.
As an older suburb, Balmain has many Colonial and Victorian heritage buildings many still standing and viable built with gorgeous Sydney Sandstone. Balmain is surrounded by water on most sides, hence many locals own pleasure craft and fishing boats. There are beautiful old established parks and many wonderful vantage points that offer uninterrupted views of Sydney City and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. There are also many well establish old pubs and eateries, where food is culturally varied and delicious.
There are several ferry services from Balmain to the city and other suburbs. On the whole it is worth a visit, just for the views of Sydney Harbour alone.
