Twilight shopping in Ballarat<\/p>\n

A late night Christmas shopping market is scheduled for Thursday December 3.\u00a0\u00a0 Entrance to Sovereign Hill is free between 6.00pm and 8.00pm.\u00a0 All the retail outlets along Sovereign Hill’s main street will be open providing a terrific opportunity to go shopping 1850’s style. I wonder whether ‘that famous pie shop’ will be joining in the festivities.\u00a0 That alone is enough to make me diarise the date. It’s also possible to check out the produce by visiting www.sovereignhillshop.com.au<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n

Catholic Germany<\/p>\n

It matters not what religion you may be, here’s the opportunity to step back into history and be part of the an event which has been played out in the village of Oberammergau since 1634.

Austria, Liechenstein and Switzerland.\u00a0 Fares start from $3699 per person twin share.\u00a0 For all the facts visit www,globus.com.au<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n
