My grandmother Laura Faust was born there in 1900. I still have a clock presented to her Father, which was purchased from Twentyman's shop.
Great drive down Ballarat's history drive, Cheers!
Thank you for sharing this. Fantastic
I’ve been reading The Fortunes of Richard Mahoney trilogy. This really helps paint a picture of life in Ballarat!
Much thanks for uploading
Certainly brings back memories
The town already looks old and very well established. Very strange.
strange indeed. all of those magnificent buildings that we cant emulate anymore in our present times are all made using hand tools. transported by horses and buggies. but yeah its the "gold rush" anything is possible! lol
12,000! orphans in a population of 40,000 people (being "trained") ? Trained for what purpose? Every third person handed over a child or are these children counted in the 40,000? Huge opulent buildings but non existent parents? Who built them and how? Supermen that hated children? Where are their mothers? In the monolithic asylum down the road? Please explain.
Absolutely brilliant.
Many thanks. Very interesting indeed.
fabulous, cheers..
So incredibly interesting!
Love this!
Was that Geelong jersey with stripes going up and down. Never seen before.

Hi
‘Humes Pipes’ being made in Ballarat was news to me! My dad worked in their William st. office in Melbourne after we migrated from post war Berlin in 1958 until is retirement!
Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua PRINCE OF PEACE returning to fulfil the feast of Tabernacles by reigning over His creation on David’s throne from Jerusalem for the seventh millennium to the glory of God The Father!
call Ballaarat (It's has 2 A in Ballaarat) but we got lazy and drop 1 of the A out of Ballarat name

That’s brilliant to watch how we take today’s technology for granted kind of, got to appreciate those cameras 🎥 they were the birth of our smartphones and unfortunately the “Media” lol
gold mine era
12,000 children in the orphanage and 6 of a motley crew in the beauty pagaent?
Were parents forced to give up all their good looking children to the orphanage and this is what was left?
Orphanage rejects?
Well look at that! The winner is number 33! What are the odds? Makes perfect sense now!
Beautifully presented and narrated! Loved this 💕 …. My mum Rosemary Ranor Davis was born in Ballarat in 1930! So I got to see what happened on the streets of Ballarat as she grew up as a child! 🙂
