This immersive attraction is set across a 25-hectare site (equivalent to the size of some 13 MCGs), and plays host to more than 60 historically recreated brick and timber buildings decked out with antiques, artwork, books and papers. It’s also staffed by costumed actors who can answer your historical questions and pose for photos."

"At Sovereign Hill you’ll be on ground zero for the richest alluvial gold rush in the world.

This 25-hectare site is now an outdoor museum where you can return to the fast-moving first ten years of Ballarat’s European history."
