Ararat, Victoria is a rural city just on 200 kms from the State Capital of Melbourne. It was established by the Chinese who were the first to search for gold here during the goldrushes of 1857. The Gum San Heritage Centre stands as a memorial to their contribution to the development of this part of Australia.
