Driving through Ballan you might see at the far west end of Inglis (the main street) the amazing opshop which serves coffee and among other drolleries has a photo of Salvador Dali on the sign indicating Menswear, and an old-style women's corset around a lampshade.
There is a sheepskin-boot shop which appears to only open Fridays and you can also get (at the very opposite end of Inglis Street) a Ploughman's Lunch from Rose Cottage next to the impressive patchwork and wools shop - Ballan's a great place.
