Ballarat
Ballarat expanded into a large regional city from when gold was discovered in 1851. Located in the Central Highlands of Victoria, one hundred and fifteen km from Melbourne CBD via the Western Freeway. The city has a population of greater than one hundred thousand residents. In terms of population Ballarat is the third largest inland city in Australia. Often said to be one of the coldest cities in Australia. Lake Wendouree is a man made almost circular shaped lake of about two km across. The lake is located within the Ballarat city area and is a popular recreation area.
Ballarat Springfest
The Ballarat Springfest festival held in late 2025 celebrated its 30th anniversary. The festival is located at the Gardens Precinct, Lake Wendouree. Held on a Sunday, there are up to five hundred market stalls to explore, offering goods, food, and various other items for sale. A large vintage and classic car show called Show 'n' Glow is featured in the morning as a part of Springfest.
