Did you know?

After the first gold was discovered at Poverty Point in 1851, the Ballarat Goldfields quickly swelled to around 20,000 diggers, resulting in Ballarat being proclaimed a town in 1852. By 1855, Ballarat was a municipality, a borough by 1863 and a city in 1870.

In the year 1858 the second largest gold nugget ever found in Australia, the "Welcome Nugget" was found at Bakery Hill, Ballarat.

There are two ways of spelling Ballarat that can still be seen on buildings and in historical literature, both of which at different times in the city's history were legitimate: ‘Ballarat’ & ‘Ballaraat’. (Since 1994 the official spelling is ‘Ballarat’).

Welcome Home

“Hi and welcome to Ballarat. We are located in the heart of the CBD in the beautiful & historic Water Board building. Combining the best of both worlds, here you can still find original features like huge safe doors that are the real McCoy and a wood panelled reading room, while enjoying comfy seating and free wifi.

My team here is a great bunch, always ready with a smile and always willing to take care of your needs. Our decorators are happy to entertain little visitors while making the product right in front of your eyes as you sit back and enjoy your meal. We are also one of the very few places in the heart of the city that have their own carpark at the rear; and what’s more, it’s free!

So do yourself a favour and come check us out. I’m sure you will love it here!”

An historic gold mining city of great elegance and charm, Ballarat creates an impression of stateliness and grandeur by virtue of its magnificent wide thoroughfare, the Victorian and Edwardian architecture, tree-lined avenues, parks, gardens and statuary, and its substantial educational institutions.

It is Victoria's largest inland city and second largest regional centre, combining a cosmopolitan lifestyle with the charm and heritage of the gold rush era. The blue-and-white Southern Cross flags, that flutter throughout Ballarat, symbolise the strong association of the city with the Eureka Rebellion - an event with great resonance in Australian history - and thus with its goldmining past.

When visiting Ballarat with its many historic sites, make a point of stopping at the magnificent heritage-listed building that the Beechworth Bakery here calls home. Operating in the iconic 1850s Water Board Building on the corner of Grenville & Lewis streets, the fifth member of the Beechworth Bakery family is a large bakery, seating 200 people and occupying approximately 400sqm of space. In addition there is plenty of car parking onsite and surrounding the building, with great disabled access.
