Bring your overcoats! Other than that, it's a nice part of the world. I'm about 250 ks further west. God'd own country.

Pack the winter woolies. The year I was in Ararat (just up the road from Ballarat) in June/July was the only time in Oz when I had to scrape the ice off the windscreen before I could drive to work! Mind you, that was at 5:30am - once the sun came up it warmed up to above freezing.
