Ballarat Base Hospital
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ballarat Base Hospital is a hospital located in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia.
During the gold rush of the 1850s the Government Camp provided medical support but mainly for officers and not for miners and the general community. Those wounded at the Eureka Stockade in 1854 received varying attention and the need for a hospital became apparent. A year later building of a hospital commenced.
