"The Provincial is a wonderful choice for an overnight stay in Ballarat. The hotel is beautifully presented, with clean, comfortable rooms and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel relaxed as soon as you arrive. The location is ideal—central and convenient, yet still quiet enough for a great night’s sleep. Staff were friendly and attentive, and everything from check-in to check-out was seamless. A perfect blend of comfort, charm, and convenience. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Ballarat...

![Have you ever been to Lake Wendouree in Ballarat? Even though most of the people go to Ballarat to the iconic Sovereign Hill, Lake Wendouree is another lovely place worth visiting when you are in the area. I went there last Friday and as I came across to these boat sheds this particular once capture my attention. I decided to wait until sunset when the light gets better to photograph it.

I hope you like it!
