Australia’s foremost outdoor museum – Sovereign Hill recreates Ballarat’s first ten years after the discovery of gold in 1851 when thousands of international fortune-hunters rushed to the Australian goldfields in search of riches.

At Sovereign Hill, you can see a spectacular $50,000 gold pour, venture underground on a guided gold mine tour or catch a horse-drawn coach & tour the Township. There are traditional 1850s-style shops, schools, a theatre, crafts, a wheelwright, a candlemaker, a confectioner & steam-driven machinery.

On thier streets & in thier theatre, you will be entertained by costumed goldfields characters who are happy to pose for a souvenir photograph.

By night, Sovereign Hill presents its spectacular, multi-million dollar sound- and-light show, Blood on the Southern Cross, the dramatic story of the 1854 Eureka Uprising.
