Fascinating historical tour of Ballarat - Jarrod provided a lovely historical tour of Ballarat to our small group of friends. He looks the part and shared some fascinating stories about old Ballarat, the early days of the diggings and the Eureka uprising. We were a lively group and tested Jarrod’s knowledge, but he managed the group with humour; “I am not an historian”. He also showed us some of the cooler shops and places in East Ballarat which we would explore after the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
