The Ballarat Tramway Museum will be running Australia's oldest operating tram, the Ballarat Horse Tram No. 1 (1887). The beautiful horses from Sandy Creek Clydesdales will be returning to Ballarat for the event.

This will be a unique opportunity to experience the relaxed and quiet nature of public transport as it was in the 1880s. The tram will be operating along the track built in 1887 to transport visitors to Lake Wendouree and the Ballarat Botanical Gardens.

Admission includes Museum entry, the horse tram and unlimited rides on some of their heritage electric trams.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.

©️ 2025 Visit Ballarat. This initiative is funded by the City of Ballarat and Tourism Midwest Victoria.
