The Wendouree Centre for the Performing Arts is a multi-purpose performance venue located at Howitt Street Wendouree, in the Victorian town of Ballarat in south east Australia. It was completed in mid-2006 replacing the ageing "Timkin Hall" as Wendouree's premier theatre. It was built at an estimated cost of $8 million dollars.

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

To initiate proceedings or stop the wheel
From the number it was backing away from as it stopped:
It was performing prettily; the puncture stayed unseen....”

Against the essential reality
Of creatures going about their business among the equally
Earnest elements of nature.”
