Great walk but zero effort from the council and/or society. Unkept signage that is damaged and uninteresting. In contrast we did the Pinnacle walk at the Grampians. That is the standard this walk should be at. Particularly for its historical significance. Need to lift your game Ballarat. …

It could be an amazing walk IF the council spent some money on it. So much potential. Very interesting but not enough info as you go. The memorial at the end is lovely. Still worth doing, but it needs to be more interesting. Ballarat spend some money on it please...it’s history…

The Eureka Trail takes you from the Old Post Office, where the original police camp was located corner of Lydiard and Sturt Streets, to the MADE museum about 3.5kms away.
