This was our second visit and it is still great, The history of the treatment of people in the past is a real eye opener. The place is run by volunteers and the tour is a credit to them.

Gum San Chinese Heritage Centre stands as a monument to the contribution by the Chinese to the establishment and economic and cultural advancement of Ararat. It tells a story of deprivation, hardship and the incredible tenacity of thousands of men from the south east of China that made their way to Victoria, in the 1850s in search of gold. Become engrossed in the courthouse stories and see the original Canton Lead Mine tunnel uncovered during the construction of the Centre. A truly interactive experience for visitors of all ages. Open 7 days a week except Christmas Day 11am-4pm 31-33 Lambert Street (Western Highway) Ararat 3377 03 5352 1078

The gardens with a lovely lake are the perfect place to stop and stretch, eat or rest while passing through Ararat. Or - like so many locals - you can walk or run round the lake a few times. There's a kids' playground, lovely little cafe and plenty of seating.
