Overview
Australia's most famous living museum, this award-winning heritage village brings to life the 1850s gold rush era. Horse-drawn carriages transport passengers through gold diggings along the creek, where "miners" and excited children pan for "real" gold. There is a replica Chinese miners camp and a dusty main road complete with traditional hotel and shops selling authentic nineteenth century wares. A highlight is the "Blood on the Southern Cross" show depicting the Eureka Stockade rebellion, a short but bloody battle in which 25 miners died fighting for fairer licensing laws. They do not accept cash so make sure that you carry enough cash along.
it had many tours like the mine tour where you acually go under ground ,it was AUSOUME!as you could even go gold panning & there is acually gold tere you could make a fortune tho you just have to go!
i like the show and i didn't like panning because i didn't find any gold! and when we went to watch the sweet making factory we got to have a sample of a butter ball warm!
This was the place in which i enjoyed the most during my stay in Melbourne apart from the beautiful old historical buildings in the city. The little shops along the street were fantastic as i felt like being in an authentic cowboy town. The coffee house experience was really great, the waitresses were dressed very nicely, similarly to those in the old English days. N of coz i love the hourses n cowboys. They were so awesome!!
sovereign hill was fun as anything i have ever been to the lollies were YUMMY the horses were fun to ride on and just so beautiful
Loved the history! The battle was realistic. I admire the people who broke away from the English to make their own life in a new land. I'm live in America - although some of my ancestors are English I think the English of old to be horrible! They treated their own people very poorly - freedom is what it's all about.
It was great! For young,old and in the middle. The old fasion lolly shop is really good. You can find real gold in the creek! The sound and light show is definitely a must! The old fasion bowling is great for the kids! To tired to walk? Catch a ride on a coach! It's all there!
Sovereign Hill had a fantastic atmosphere. It made you relive a rich history in a positive environment. It was encouraging and very authentic. It was a unforgetable experience and every Australian must make a visit
I loved this place it's really awsome and I love all the horses!!!!
IT WAS GREAT I LOVED IT THE VALUE OF GOODS WAS GREAT AND ALL THE STUFF TO DO IT WAS GREAT
The last time I went to Sovereign Hill was when I was 11. 6 years later a friend and I went there and it was great. There were heaps of activities and attractions.
