Even though Victoria’s goldrush city of Ballarat is purported to be the state’s largest inland city, it is safe to say that it has more than its fair share of statues and monuments which honour heroes, icons, royalty, poets and goldfield pioneers. So abundant are they, in fact, that the Ballarat Information Centre has thought it prudent to compile an extremely helpful self-guided historic statues walking tour for the curious visitor who would like to delve deeper into the city’s impressive array of bronzes, busts and bandstands which line the main boulevard.
