Visit Ballan, Bacchus Marsh, Blackwood, Gordon, Greendale
Vintage enthusiasts flock to Ballan
The gorgeous weather across Moorabool at present makes this a great time to hit the road, and we’ve got a couple of awesome events coming up focussing on classic cars, vintage machinery and collectables.
The Ballan District Vintage Machinery and Vehicle Club is staging Ballan’s Great Vintage Rally on Sunday 15 February at Ballan Racecourse Reserve.
And the Ballan Vintage Swap Meet is a great day for true vehicle enthusiasts and those who just like looking at beautiful cars alike. Catch it on Saturday 28 February, also at Ballan Racecourse Reserve
