Ballarat info

G'day All,
Heading to Ballarat March 7 with some friends who are attending the antique fair. So I thought I might pack the beeper and do a bit of detecting while they were at the show. We fly into Melbourne early Saturday and will be hiring a Kluger for the weekend.
Where in Ballarat can I get a permit, are there any tour operators there or can someone give me a few ideas as to where to head to.

Thanks

Cheers Trenchy
