About Ballarat

Ballarat is one of Australia's best-preserved gold rush cities, featuring magnificent Victorian-era streetscapes, broad tree-lined boulevards, and a rich heritage that draws visitors from around the world. Located just 115 kilometres from Melbourne with direct train services, Ballarat has attracted significant investment from Melbourne buyers seeking large homes on generous blocks at a fraction of capital city prices. Federation University Australia supports a vibrant student population, while the city's healthcare, education, and government employment sectors provide a stable economic base. Sovereign Hill and the Ballarat Wildlife Park contribute to a thriving tourism economy.
