Magic Moorabool Markets in spring!
As the days start getting longer and a little bit warmer, October is a fantastic time for getting out and about across Moorabool.
And this month there are some great outdoor markets across our region, the perfect destination for a country drive.
From the long-running Darley Market to the boutique-style Ballan Farmer’s Market, there’s something for everyone.
Check out all of this month’s markets at our markets page
