The Heart of Ballarat (Central District Tour)

Audio guide10 stops

Gold rush secrets ripple beneath Ballarat’s charming streets, echoing from studio walls and century-old clock towers. Set off on a self-guided audio adventure that unlocks city stories and quirky local haunts even most Ballarat natives miss. Feel history breathe as you walk where artists, broadcasters, and rebels once clashed and created. What radio scandal nearly silenced 3BA’s airwaves forever? Which mysterious masterpiece vanished without a trace from the Art Gallery of Ballarat? And what curious ritual did postmasters perform beneath the looming Post Office clock late at night? This tour sweeps you through moments of rebellion and reinvention, letting every step reveal drama etched into stone and whispered through speakers. Stand in places where political passions erupted, scandals unraveled, and forgotten voices linger. Plug in now—see Ballarat as never before and tune into its untold tales waiting just beneath your feet.
