Ballarat, Victoria, Australia
9 September 2018
Historic Ballarat in less than one and half hour's drive from Melbourne and is chock full of things to do for families. There's Kryal Castle, Sovereign Hill and the Eureka Stockade. But we didn't do any of those things. We went to the Art Gallery of Ballarat to see Into The Light - collection of French masterworks - mostly impressionistic paintings from the Musée de la Chartreuse in Douai in Northern France. On display were works by Renoir, Sisely, Signac, Sidaner and some Australian artists living in France in the late 19th century.
This exhibition has now closed but the Art Gallery always has something on the go so check it out. After visiting the gallery we went down to Wendouree Park and lake and played in the playground, strolled by the lake, and talked to the black swans.
