Itinerary

  • Sovereign Hill

    Experience the excitement of the Red Hill Gully Diggings where you can pan for REAL gold and see a spectacular $100,000 gold pour, venture underground on a fully-guided gold mine tour or catch a horse-drawn coach and tour the township. Guests can also visit working shops, hotels, schools, a theater, crafts, a wheelwright, a candle maker, a confectioner and steam-driven machinery. Enjoy lunch at the New York Bakery; which was recreated based on advice from Alfred Reid, the son of John Reid, the founder of the original bakery that stood in Ballarat over a century ago. Be entertained by characters dressed in traditional goldfields costumes that are more than happy to pose for a photo – a great memory of your journey back in time! Highlights: • Gold museum • Guided mine tour • Lunch at Sovereign Hill ‘New York Bakery’ • Enjoy an authentic ‘Gold Pour’ • Take the time to pan for gold • The historic gold mining city of Ballarat
