Travel to Sovereign Hill, Australia's foremost outdoor museum. Sovereign Hill re-creates Ballarat's first ten years after the discovery of gold in 1851 when thousands of international adventurers rushed to the Australian goldfields in search of fortune. Spend the day wandering its historic streets, watch a spectacular $100, 000 gold pour, venture underground on a fully-guided gold mine tour or catch a horse-drawn coach and tour the town. Or go shopping 1850s-style and visit hotels, schools and a theatre with goldfields entertainers. See steam-driven machinery in action and chat with wheelwrights, candlemakers and confectioners as they ply their trades. Or visit the Eureka Centre, site of Australia's only civil uprising and see the original Eureka Flag. Note - this is also an ideal day tour for cruise ship passengers berthing at Geelong. See my other listed tour. I can also do a quote for groups with more than 5 travelers.
Travel over the West Gate Bridge and through Melbourne's western suburbs before a pleasant 90-minute drive through rural Victoria to Sovereign Hill. Wander around Sovereign Hill enjoying theatres, mine tours, historic shops, and mine workings. Optional visit to Eureka Centre or sightseeing tour of Ballarat. Return to Melbourne dreaming of what it would have been like to live in that heady gold rush period. The itinerary may be changed or cancelled due to weather and road conditions.
