Ballarat/Sovereign Hill


The Ballarat is the Australia's most famous gold rush in the 1850s. 69km north-west of Melbourne. This city is now a thriving modern commercial center but it retains the character of earlier days in many well-preseved buildings. In the vicinity of Sovereign Hill, a faithfully reconstructed town of the era, you can find pan for gold, ride a stagecoach and generally experience those heady days.
