What to Expect
Sovereign Hill is a recreated goldfields township set over 25 hectares on a site which forms part of the richest alluvial goldfields the world has ever seen.
We offer a wide range of activities carried out by costumed staff and volunteers, many of whom portray some of the behaviours and prejudices of the 1850s!
There is so much to see and do at Sovereign Hill. We have:
* The Red Hill Gully Diggings where you pan for real gold
* More than 50 working horses, including Clydesdales & Percherons
* Craftsmen at work in traditional 1850s trades
* A 10-minute, self-guided underground adventure tour of the Red Hill Mine which depicts the discovery of the 69kg Welcome Nugget, the second largest gold nugget ever found
* Regular demonstrations and street theatre performances by our staff and actors
* 1850s-style shopping
