Historical information

The Ballarat Camp housed the Goldfields administrators. It was from this site that the troopers left on the morning of 3 December 1854 to attack the Eureka Stockade.

Much of the area shown in on the west side of Camp Street is now used by the Federation University Arts Academy.
