Military rifle ranges in Australia have a long history that traversed the colonial era to federation. One such range is in Ballarat. The Canadian Rifle Range is in the suburb of Canadian. It's recognized as Victoria’s finest intact colonial and imperial-era rifle range. I joined Jeff Rootes, President of the Friends of Canadian Corridor on the site of the former range.
Thanks to Jeff for an insightful look at the range. I would also like to thank Andrew Parker who put me in touch with Jeff. Andrew has his own podcast called Andrew’s History Notes. It features podcasts on the history of Ballarat’s and surrounds and he has also has a podcast on the rifle range in Canadian.
