Ararat - Fast Facts

Substantial and attractive service centre.

Ararat is an attractive old goldmining town of about 7500 people located in the foothills of the Pyrenees mountains, 332 metres above sea-level. It is 203 km north-west of Melbourne at the intersection of the Western and Pyrenees Highways. It is now the commercial centre of an agricultural district where wheat, oats, fine wool and wine are the major produce, although the town also has an industrial estate.
