Sturt Street Gardens - Ballarat


The Sturt Street Gardens are located in Ballarat, Victoria (Australia). The gardens area a central median of the main thoroughfare of Ballarat, Sturt Street. The gardens run for 13 blocks and contain significant statues, bandstands, memorials and trees.

I used to work opposite the gardens and enjoyed taking images on a different angle than the norm.
