Ararat is a historic city located in the Western District of Victoria, Australia, approximately 200 kilometers west of Melbourne. Founded during the Victorian gold rush of the 1850s, it holds the distinction of being the only Australian town to be founded by Chinese immigrants, who discovered gold in the area. The city's name comes from Mount Ararat, which stands nearby.
Today, Ararat serves as an important regional center with a rich cultural heritage that reflects both its gold mining history and agricultural roots. The town features well-preserved historic architecture from the gold rush era and has developed into a significant cultural hub for the Grampians region. Its cultural landscape includes notable heritage buildings, art galleries, and museums that showcase the region's history, including its Aboriginal heritage and the story of its Chinese pioneers.
The surrounding area is known for its wine production, farming, and natural attractions, making it a gateway to the Grampians National Park.
