After posting yesterday’s list of famous people from Ballarat, there was an outcry for  people who were clear omissions.

We will remind you the original list was compiled from a Wikipedia page and that there was always the intention of adding those who we felt should be included.

So, we have listened to your feedback, and taken a bit of editorial licence to formulate a list of who should make the Wikipedia page.
