Travel back in time at Sovereign Hill and share in the experiences of the locals at an original gold-mining town of the 1850s. Discover historical sites and charming Victorian architecture in Ballarat and even try your luck panning for gold.
Begin your day with a pickup from your Melbourne hotel and hop on board a comfortable coach. Travel to the quaint town of Ballarat and take a guided tour of its historical sites, gorgeous gardens, and Victorian-style buildings.
Then continue your trip to Sovereign Hill. Embark the coach and step back in time at this authentic recreation of a gold-mining town of the 1850s. Spend your afternoon wandering the grounds and experiencing the Australian gold rush era. Wander through the main street's traditional blacksmithing and craft shops; see true-to-life characters and reenactments.
Explore the bustle of Australia's gold rush at the Gold Museum and join a guided tour on an inclined tramway deep underground. Learn about old working conditions and see demonstrations from period tradesmen. Then try your luck panning for gold, or catch a ride in a traditional horse-drawn carriage (own expense).
