Browse property in Blackie Avenue

Blackie Avenue runs through the heart of Ararat’s neatly‑gridded centre, a legacy of the town’s 19th‑century boom that still frames the streetscape with historic bluestone and brick façades such as the Sub‑Treasury, Telegraph & Post Office and the former Court House. The avenue is flanked by a mix of modest period homes and newer dwellings, reflecting the town’s gradual growth since the gold rush while retaining the charm of its heritage blocks. Its proximity to the Gum San Chinese Heritage Centre and other gold‑era landmarks gives the street a distinct sense of place.

The avenue benefits from excellent road links, sitting just off the Western Highway that connects east to Ballarat and Melbourne and west toward Horsham and Adelaide, while regular Ararat Transit bus routes and the V/Line station provide rail access to the city and beyond. Residents are within easy reach of key services, including the Ararat & District Hospital, four primary schools, secondary colleges and the regional art gallery, and are a short drive from the Hop­kins Correctional Centre and the nearby Ararat Airport.
