Join us on this episode of pplpod as we unlock the doors to Eyres House (formerly known as "Esleta" and "Balmoral"), a stunning piece of Federation architecture in Soldiers Hill, Ballarat. Discover the lives of its wealthy owners, from mining investor Joseph Bryant—who survived the Clunes Riots—to the industrious Ronaldson and Stewart families. We explore how this grand residence evolved from a symbol of Gold Rush prosperity into a vital community resource for Ballarat Health Services. Tune in for a journey through Victorian heritage, family legacies, and architectural beauty.
