Top things to do in Ballarat

Relive tales of times gone by when you pay a visit to historically rich Ballarat in Victoria’s Central Highlands. This regional city pays tribute to Australia’s gold rush period with Victorian-era architecture and its very own replica town at Sovereign Hill, which recreates the 1850’s with costumed townspeople and authentic buildings filled with antiquities. If medieval history is more your style then don’t miss out on the grand Kryal Castle, while animal lovers can enjoy snuggling native koalas and wombats at the Ballarat Wildlife Park.
