Description

This morning you will have the opportunity of visiting the Ballarat Region. First you will visit Ballarat Wildlife Park before visiting Sovereign Hill Gold Mine. The Ballarat Wildlife Park is a well-planned wildlife park where you can have opportunities to meet native Australian animals, where you can feed Kangaroos and cuddle a koala with chance to have a photo. Then visit Sovereign Hill, to absorb the history of the goldrush era, the perfectly re-created 1850's goldmining settlement. Relive the life in an underground adventure to join in Red Hill underground mines tour. Wander the main street to visit goldsmiths, craftsmen and traders, and enjoy browsing the unique period-style stores along with real-life characters and story re-enactments. Watch traditional skills being practised using age-old techniques by wood turners and metalurgists. Pan for gold at the creek and also view the famous Ballarat gold collection at the Gold Museum.
