Still the Hottest Show in Town!

Blood on the Southern Cross is an explosive multi-million dollar sound-and-light show like nothing you've ever seen before!

The story of the Eureka Rebellion, a dramatic battle between gold miners and Government forces at Ballarat on 3 December, 1854, is retold nightly at Blood on the Southern Cross, Sovereign Hill's acclaimed sound-and-light spectacular.

Set under the night skies at Sovereign Hill, Blood on the Southern Cross involves no actors – just voices, dazzling sound and light effects and a stunning open-air set. Visitors travel across the site on a comfortable transporter and view much of the action from the recreated Free Trade Hotel on the Eureka Diggings.

Experience the miners’ disgust at unfair gold taxes and witness the dramatic burning of the Eureka Hotel. Then, listen to Governor Hotham’s reasoning for a dawn attack on a band of men who were the first to swear an oath of loyalty on Australian soil to a flag that was not British – the flag of the Southern Cross.

Special packages include day entry to Sovereign Hill, dinner, show and on-site accommodation. Bookings are essential to avoid disappointment.

Make a complete evening of your visit to Blood on the Southern Cross by enjoying a total package, inclusive of dinner prior to the show.

The evening menu features a two course dinner. Guests can purchase alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages from the bar.
