About Me

Ballarat, Victoria, Australia
In 2012 I moved back to my home town of Ballarat in Victoria, Australia. Join me as I re-discover Ballarat, one of Victoria's largest inland cities, famous for the Goldfields. You may be a resident, tourist or new comer to Ballarat. I hope to provide you with useful information about Ballarat as I re-discover my home town. I will also provide information on places which are a short drive from Ballarat. So residents and visitors come and discover Ballarat with me.

A visit to the Jack 'n' Jill Children's Market - July 13

It was a rainy day, but that did not stop residents and visitors from visiting the Jack 'n' Jill Children's Market last weekend at St. Patricks Hall, Ballarat.  I bribed the kids so I could do my 'bloggy' thing. I said, "If you are good and let mummy do her 'work', I will get you Maccas and let you play on the playground".  That seemed to work just nicely.

The Jack 'n' Jill Children's Market is full of gorgeous handmade, unique and boutique children's products.  We had a nice time wondering and browsing.  It was so clear, the time and effort that is placed into making these products.  I picked up a few goodies for myself and enjoyed speaking to the lovely business owners who were more than happy to share information on their craft.  The vast product range is a great credit to the market coordinators. It is nice to go to a market that has variety.

I took so many photo's at the market.  It has been lot's of fun going through them all and picking out the best.  I hope you enjoy.

A visit to the Pop-Up Shop Ballarat


It was a hot day, but that did not deter me from visiting the lunchtime launch of the Pop-Up Shop Ballarat, located in the Backspace Gallery (Huyghue House) in Alfred Deakin Place, Camp Street, Ballarat.

The handmade products were unique and the room was full of colour. It was obvious that a lot of love, time and effort had gone into every single product on the shelves. I highly recommend you visit the Pop-Up Shop Ballarat to find a special gift for that special person in your life this Christmas.
