After doing some drops along the way I got into Ballarat around 12.30. Watching light aircraft fly over or around the city all afternoon got me excited for a visit. Unfortunately the deliveries took a lot longer than I thought but I still wasn't heading back without a quick visit to the airport.
Ballarat Airport (ICAO: YBLT) which is officially know as Ballarat Aerodrome, is located 7.4 km (4.6 miles) west of Ballarat in the outer suburb of Mitchell Park, here in Victoria.

and one grass runway which is
13 / 31 568 metres long (1,864 feet).

This airport does not have a control tower so pilots are required to communicate via a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) to safely co-ordinate arrivals and departures.
