During our recent holiday to Halls Gap my wife and I not only visited a number of secondhand book stores, which I mentioned in my last blog post, but also dropped in on a number of other book stores and op-shops.
1) Ballarat Vintage & Collectables Market, Ballarat
This large undercover market has hundreds of stalls including several selling secondhand books.

2) Collins Booksellers, Ballarat
Collins Booksellers first opened in Australia in 1922. They are now a "national group of independently owned franchise bookstores".
3) Vinnies, Ararat
Vinnies op-shops are operated by St. Vincent de Paul Society all around Australia. This store in Ararat sells hundreds of donated books.
4) Church Op-Shop, Ararat
This op-shop is run by the Anglican Parish of Ararat.
Inside this large building are hundreds of books for sale, as well as antiques, bric-a-brac and donated clothes.
6) Salvation Army Op-Shop, Stawell
This Salvos op-shop contained in a massive warehouse has hundreds of books for sale as well as many other well loved donations.
