The Journey : Day 4 Australia : Sovereign Hill

Sovereign Hill Town

The journey to Ballarat which is west of Melbourne took us nearly an hour. The attraction that we came for is Sovereign Hill; an open air museum that was recreated based on the 1850's when Gold was first found at the location. Sovereign Hill is an interesting attraction for visitors albeit the hefty fee of AUD 37.50 for adult not inclusive of rides and other tours inside. For me I feel it's worth it as you are transported back to the 1850's time zone as there are people dressed up in clothes of the era while working.

Making of Candles

Chinese community campsite

Overall a great experience to understand the historical that took place since the gold boom in Australia.
