Ballan Ballan Gazette Notes on Local Leaders and Heritage
A sprawling, ear-to-ear rambled column surveys Ballan society, streets, public buildings, and notable figures. It references Willis White and Merry Punt, local shopkeepers, the Presbyterian church, the courthouse, and Ballan’s public men, with digressions on historical sites, manuscripts, and civic pride. The piece interweaves slang, reminiscences, and archival musings about Ballan’s past.
