Ballaarat - 0-4-0 Victoria Foundry, Ballarat Victoria, built 1871 Plinthed Busselton This historic engine is the oldest surviving Australian-built locomotive, and also the first steam locomotive in WA. 'Ballaarat' was used on a timber tramway near Yoganup, and is named after the original spelling of its city of manufacture.  The loco was withdrawn about 1900 but survived into preservation (23).  Photo (12 May 2002) shows Ballaarat plinthed in a park, under a weather shelter. I believe this historic locomotive now deserves a better home, such as the WA Museum in Perth (1).
