Gold Rush Route

Ballarat is one of the oldest cities in Australia. The gold rush in 1850 attracted the attention of the world, so it was called the "New Gold Mountain". It became the third largest city in Victoria. The city is full of beauty and peace, and well-preserved 19th-century ancient buildings can be seen everywhere. The Sovereign Hill Gold Mine, which was built in 1970, shows the original style and atmosphere of the gold rush period. The old shops and streets in the gold rush town are filled with the style and atmosphere of the 19th century, and the staff dressed in retro clothes will make you feel as if you are there.

There is also the beautiful Lake Windray on the outskirts of the city. You can take a quiet walk along the lakeside or let your children fully experience the fun of outdoor play in the children's playground. Ballarat's long Australian history is vividly displayed to you. Let the Sovereign Hill Gold Mine Day Tour take you to understand Victoria's unique historical background and development process.
