- Places & Travel
Eleven years ago a train from Ballarat arrived at Melbourne's Southern Cross Station in 59 minutes, a record which was applauded by State politicians at the time - a record which, alas, hasn't been repeated. That sub-hour time is Committee for Ballarat's focus in its #59minuteBallarat campaign aimed at State and Federal governments to help ease the growing pains of Melbourne and support the wider region of Ballarat. The Committee's Nick Beale and Melanie Robertson discuss the campaign and what the benefits would bring to not only Ballarat and Melbourne, but the rest of Victoria.
