Experience the Past at Sovereign Hill

Wednesday October 7, 2009

There's much of history in the Victorian goldfields and much to visit in Ballarat, Victoria's largest inland city. Certainly you can take a daytrip from Melbourne and return by nightfall, or take your time and spend a couple of days and nights, or more, in the storied goldfields.

At Sovereign Hill, experience colonial times and the search for gold, and at the Eureka Stockade, feel the breath of rebellion as miners take a stand against perceived injustice...
