Event details

Ararat is a former gold-mining town, a number of elaborate and historical buildings still grace the streets of the town, including the Town Hall and Shire Hall in Barkly Street, both built in the late 1800s.

Other places of historical interest include the Gum San Chinese Heritage Centre, the Langi Morgala Museum located in the former wool store, and J Ward, which originally served as the Ararat County Gaol until 1887 when it was then turned into an institution for the criminally insane.

Alexandra Gardens feature a large lake, colourful garden beds and a cafe.

We will also drive up to One Tree Hill Lookout, which provides panoramic views over Ararat and the surrounding ranges.
