Sri Lanka is closer from Ballarat than it looks, and for locals here its misty highlands, grand colonial-era towns and cool green valleys feel surprisingly like home. If you love Ballarat’s crisp air and heritage streets, Sri Lanka’s hill country, where tea estates roll out across the slopes and towns like Nuwara Eliya still feel like Little England, will feel familiar. Swap a Lake Wendouree morning for tea at altitude in Ella, and you are halfway there.
