Grey skies, and icy cold winds blow through and around the streets, yesteryear buildings, of Ballarat. The heart of gold fever in the 1800’s, and the infamous Eureka Stockade in 1854. Where it is believed that democracy first started in this country. Today Ballarat has many of the original buildings left that give the town its old world charm. So that you are focused on the splendour of the amazing buildings instead of the mind numbing winter ice winds trying to snap freeze you. Makes you appreciate the modern cons of fast heaters in the car, and spare a thought for those old diggers, they were tough buggers in more ways than one.
