Sovereign Hill

Had an amazing day out and saved money by pre-purchasing a bundle ticket for entry and a mine tour.

Stepping back in time

Coming on a Sunday was perfect, we came early and found it so easy to walk through and see things the way they were - sometimes we could take photos without anyone in them except for the people dressed in period dress. Everyone so friendly, the exhibits informative and well maintained, the entire experience made for a happy day - and especially for my German friend who had especially wanted to see Sovereign Hill. She was not disappointed. Thank-you everyone for making it such a pleasant experience. Loved chatting to you!!!
