I lived in Ballarat 40 years ago, so I am familiar with the buildings and surrounding region. Visiting in the middle of winter is a reality check for anyone who has spent years in warmer areas of Australia, but not unbearable. Keep warm and budget to go out and spend on winter clothes! One thing about the locals is a very down to earth approach to life during winter. Everyone is bundled up in coats, scarves, hats or beanies, gloves, boots, etc. This is not a fashion show but life in the Highlands during winter when the temperature can really plummet.
