First get to the Southern Cross Station and take the train to Ballarat (9:08am for Mom-Sat, 9:28 for Sunday), and when you arrive, a special Goldrush special bus will take you directly to Sovereign Hill.
This is the Southern Cross Station at Melbourne
On arrival at Sovereign Hill, if you show them your train ticket, you can get a 10% discount on the entry price to Sovereign Hill and a free Cobb and Co Coach ride.
So, what is Sovereign Hill?? It is basically an outdoor museum. You can see what an early gold digging area looked like. There are costumed guides all around.
You can even pan for gold there!! Initially I thought there aren't any gold in the river, but look what the guide found.
Can you see the gold???
I like the Chinese immigrant area
These posters look so old and authentic...
And the bowling saloon!!
And the shops, I especially love the printing shop and the apothecary shop.
The apothecary shop
You can give an anaesthesia with these drugs... haha!!
And there is a doctor's office inside with a bloody apron and the surgical equipment.
The print shop
I bought these for souvenirs
They're so funny!! You can click on the picture and magnify it to read the words.
