Lake Bolac Pub. A blue-stone building
from the 1860’s, it is the local watering
hole for Lake Bolac. It offers great meals
and great ice cold beer and other drinks
for visitors.
Lake Bolac Milk Bar - Partners Kathy Matthew
and David McDonald bought the milk bar when
its front was looking tired and worn. New signs
and a paint job have helped bring a mixture of
Lake Bolac residents, tourists and truck drivers
through the doors.
Lake Bolac Supermarket They sell
groceries and fresh fruit and vegetables,
your daily papers and are licensed. There

Ararat with it’s interesting history is 50km away;
Ararat, like many other towns in Western and Central
Victoria was built on gold. A day trip to Ararat and
it’s museums, such as Langi Morgala which displays
artefacts from days gone by is a MUST.
Ararat was the home of “J-Ward” a dark and
forbidding place for the “criminally insane”. Sad
times for all who were incarcerated in this place.
•
Aradale, a lunatic asylum in Ararat, which was
operative until 1993 - not that long ago. There are
conducted tours of Aradale. If we have run out of
pamphlets and information on all of our local
attractions, the local Information Centre is a ‘mine of
information’.
•
Gum San is the Chinese Heritage Centre in Ararat. A
group of weary Chinese miners on the way to the
gold-fields of Victoria found a rich shallow alluvial
gold-field, where Ararat is now situated. The Gum
San Museum has wonderful original displays of what
the life in a “Gold Town” was like, just a short 150
years ago.
