Local markets perfect for a country drive
With the current wave of warmer weather it’s a fantastic time for getting out and about at the regular markets across Moorabool.
Enjoy the long-running and popular Darley Market, the boutique style Ballan Farmers Market, or maybe some trash and treasure fun at the Ballan Lions Market.
There’s also a Plant and Produce Swap every month at Darley Community Art Garden, and St Anne’s has planned an Autumn Market for the first week of May. More
