Town hall walls tell tales

CITY of Ballarat has released the Ballarat Town Hall Audio Tour – a mobile-friendly website for visitors wanting to explore the building using their smart phone,

At 10 places within the Town Hall building, signified by a wall marker, there are links to online content, including audio, images and written information about the building and the many people and objects that have brought it to life over the years.

Topics covered in the tour include Ballarat’s first female mayor, the former glory of the A Hall as a grand reception and ballroom, and how the Alfred Bells were installed in the bell tower.

Flyers with a map showing the tour stops and a link to the audio are available at the Visitor Information Centre and the Town Hall’s front desk.
