Lake Wendouree


We travelled to Ballarat recently for a wonderful wedding. The drought has been severe in Victoria turning Lake Wendouree into a football oval. Prospectors with metal detectors have found coins, guns, knives and all manner of things on the Lake bed.
The State Library of Victoria opened a new storage facility at Ballarat in 2006. More than 100,000 newspapers; 25,000 boxes of manuscripts; 750,000 serial volumes were moved into the store on the campus of the University of Ballarat.
