Winter in Ballarat is pie season โ and we've got the warm pool to come home to. ๐ฅงโจ๏ธ
Ballarat's Best Pie is on all through August, with 30 local bakeries, pubs and cafรฉs battling it out for the title. Voting closes 31 August, so there's still time to eat your way around town and have your say โ QR codes at every participating venue, or vote at visitballarat.com.au.
Our tip: make a day of it. Pie trail by day, a soak in our indoor heated saltwater pool and spa, then dinner without leaving the property at Fat Chef. ๐ฝ๏ธ
Also on this week:
๐ฌ National Science Week wraps up Sunday 23 August โ plenty on around the region for curious kids
๐ Book Week kicks off Saturday 22 August โ this year's theme is Symphony of Stories ๐ป
๐ฟ And if the sun makes an appearance, our 4 acres of gardens and the BBQ area are all yours
Two minutes from Lake Wendouree, fifteen from Sovereign Hill. Family-run for over 40 years, and yes โ we're pet friendly. ๐พ
