ROSS CREEK
Ross Creek is a rural community about 15 minutes southwest of Ballarat, known for its strong sense of history and connection to the land. Unlike the neighbouring gold towns, Ross Creek grew by supplying timber and produce during the Gold Rush rather than digging for riches itself. Named after Charles Ross, who established a pastoral run here in 1841, the area later became home to a school, a Welsh church, and an Avenue of Honour planted in 1918 to commemorate local servicemen of World War I. Today, reminders of this heritage still remain, alongside the Ross Creek Recreation Reserve and nearby state forest with its walking trails and historic water race.
