The tourist info centre has a booklet to be used for walking tours of Lydiard Street providing the history of the buildings.

shopping was good and also went to the Movie theatre which was also on Lydiard street. Ballarat is such a big spead out town with lots of very nice places to eat. Not much to dislike accept the weather was not nice but it was winter when we were there.

Visited the information centre and collected walking tour of Ballarat brochure. This informative guide includes self guided tour of specific areas of Ballarat including Lydiard St (the info booth is also in this St). Wandered up the Street and referred to brochure which was informative about the different historical buildings. Wandered into quite a few also and pleasantly surprised by the beauty of bygone era. Great morning of exploration.

You take a step back in time as you walk the street and view the buildings. Pick up the historic walk book from the information centre, which is on Lydiard Street, and read it as you walk and view. The walk will extend into Sturt and Camp Streets. You cannot go to Ballarat and not do this walk.

This street has so many old buildings to speak of. The Royal hotel, Mining Exchange and the Art Gallery just to name a few. I love to wander up and down here whenever I am in Ballarat. I have managed 3 visits in the past 6 months.
