What to do in Ballarat from Boxing Day until New Year’s Day

Johnny Alloo

Some call it Crimbo Limbo or Twixmas, in Norway it's known as Romjul – to us, it's that much-needed downtime between Christmas Day and the start of the new year.

It's when you momentarily hit the 'pause' button and take a breather after surviving the silly season – just!

If you're looking for a way to fill in those sleepy days from 26 December-1 January, Ballarat is the perfect destination to rest, relax and rejuvenate...

FYI, the Ballarat Visitor Information Centre at the Ballarat Town Hall (225 Sturt St) is open 10am-4pm from Boxing Day until New Year's Day.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
