Winterknit Revisited

Back in June I posted about this decorated tree near Ballan station, and the Winterknit festival.

I said at the time, "I will have to go back to Ballan in the daytime before the end of winter", and today was the day.

It was a beautiful sunny day, although the air was still chilly, so winter woollies were called for.

This tree was decorated by the Anglers Club:

And this one by the Ballan Garden Group:

But it is not only the trees which are wrapped up for winter.

I should have got a closer picture of the chooks on top of this car:

One of Ballan's three op-shops was closed today unfortunately, but there are a few new shops open since my last walk through the town, including one which sells vintage wares and sewing goodies, Chrissie's Timeless Treasures.
