00:09 Things I love about Ballarat, and I often discuss this with my wife, is

00:13 when you're going for a walk or early in the morning, you often get hello from people.

00:18 You say g'day, and I feel like working in Melbourne, people are kind of in a rush, so

00:23 just the kind of general, gentle nature of people in Ballarat I really enjoy.

00:29 I think the architecture, I love looking up, especially in the golden hour of like 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

00:35 That's really kind of, when I tell people, or when they come to Ballarat, I tell them

00:40 "Oh, make sure you look up when you're walking around town."

00:42 I think it's really unique, kind of looking at the town's history within the architecture.

00:49 And then the art gallery, I love it. It's free, it's beautiful.

00:57 It's on the right path, I feel like. The multiculturalism is an amazing thing in this town.

01:02 I think it's growing. I see a lot of young families from more metro cities come into town.

01:10 Ballarat feels like a lot of people are moving to Ballarat.

01:13 So I guess I just want to see people love this town, fall in love with it.

01:18 I fell in love with it, I'm still in love with it.

01:22 So I guess, yeah, just a happy town and everyone's kind of just trying to make it a little bit better

01:30 and give something back and not take too much.
