In August 1851 gold was discovered at Ballarat, creating the greatest gold rush the
world had ever seen. Within a few short years population had reached more than 40,000 people and the tent town of Ballarat quickly gave way to a grand Victorian city of timber, brick and bluestone.

rush diggers, to the birth of a prominent, wealthy city. Explore Ballarat's grand Victorian streetscapes of opulent ''Boomtown'' architecture and become captivated by the history behind the facades.
