ballarat altitude

Ah, Ballarat, the charming Victorian city sitting pretty at an altitude of about 435 metres above sea level. This elevation gives it a crisp, often chilly climate—perfect for those who enjoy a bit of a brisk breeze with their flat white. Being higher up also means it can play host to the occasional snow dusting, much to the delight of locals and the dismay of those who forgot their winter woollies. For the most precise and official figures, a quick squiz at the Geoscience Australia or local council data will do the trick.
