BALLARAT AND THE GOLD FIELDS When gold was discovered in Ballarat in 1851 people from all over the world streamed in to make their fortune. Not all of them did but they have left in the area a history that is very multicultural. This has resulted in some grand old architecture, great food and the introduction of a variety of lifestyles. Visit Sovereign Hill, pan gold at Red Gully Creek, take a voyage of discovery at the Gold Museum and wander through this gracious city with its magnificent gardens and dignified statues. For our overseas visitors add a visit to the Ballarat Wildlife Park to get up close and personal with koalas, wombats and kangaroos. The Great Southern Wool Shed gives a great insight into the history and development of the wool industry in Australia and has top quality super fine merino wool products for sale as well as great Australian food at its café. An addition to Ballarat region is a tour of the Eureka Stockade Centre which is the site of a major rebellion in Victoria by gold miners against government fees for miners and was squashed by government troops in a swift bloody battle.
