Every now and then Study Melbourne has these meetups for students to meet one another and explore the great city and countrytowns. This time we explored a country town called Ballarat which is the gold mine city in Melbourne. I still remember going to Sovereign Hill and having heaps of fun there. This time we went into town via Vline a country train service which serves Melbourne and the Country towns. The trip was about 1.5 hours from Melbourne and they only have one per hour.
The train was comfortable. Here people snoozed, talked, ate and studied. Once we got out of Ballarat station we could see all these old buildings. On the train we saw the lovely countryside and the farms.
First stop was Federation uni for the "How far we have come competition". This photo competition was open to all International students to enter and some have won multiple prizes. All of their artwork was really good and depicted Melbourne well.
Next up was the Mining exchange and the Art gallery. I have touched on this in the other post so we'll skip over to lunch at Jackson and Co. I went there for dinner and thought that they were good for their sweet potato wedges. Had that again today and they were really good. What's even better is that they have $15 lunch deals. But unfortunately service was slow and we were waiting waiting waiting for a while for food.
Here are some other random shots of the biennale. I hope you enjoy these.
