Geocache Description:

THIS CACHE IS MAINTAINED BY SULLY1.

As many would be aware, SA is holding the Oz Mega 2014 but where is it going to be. This series will highlight some towns in SA that may or maybe not the location for the 2014 Oz Mega.

Although Ballarat is not in SA - it pertains to be SA Friendly. 

Ballarat is a city located on the Yarrowee River and lower western plains of the Great Dividing Range in the state of Victoria, Australia, approximately 105 kilometres (65 mi) west-north-west of the state capital; Melbourne.

With an estimated urban area population of just over 94,000 people, Ballarat is the third most populous urban area in the state. One of the Australia's most populated inland settlements, it is the most populous in the state and fifth in the country. People from Ballarat are referred to as Ballaratians.

It is one of the most significant Victorian era boomtowns in Australia. Just months after Victoria was granted separation from New South Wales, the Victorian gold rush transformed Ballarat from a small sheep station to a major settlement.

Gold was discovered at Poverty Point on 18 August 1851 and news quickly spread of rich alluvial fields where gold could easily be extracted. Within months, approximately 20,000 migrants had rushed the district. Several Australian mining innovations were made at the Ballarat diggings including the first use of a Chilean mill in 1851 and the first use of a mine cage in 1861.

Unlike many other gold rush boom towns, the Ballarat fields experienced sustained high gold yields for decades.
