Book NowMulti-Sensory Experience
Feel the vibrations as stars explode in front of your eyes, watch as the land is transformed by the gold rush, and dive into the chaos of the Eureka Rebellion as you witness the creation and discovery of the world’s most precious metal.
Atmospheric storytelling
Over 64 acres, hundreds of stunning projections create an immersive storytelling experience that transports you back in time. The Wadawurrung creation story is told with projections on a magnificent lake, gunfights and protests erupt under the night sky, and the gold rush is brought to life as never before.

Frequently asked questions
How can I book tickets?
Tickets can be booked online here. This is a seated capacity show.
What is the duration of the show?
Approximately 90 minutes.
Do we need to wear a facemask?
We recommend wearing a facemask where a 1.5 metre physical distance cannot be maintained.

Can I bring a pram/stroller?
Due to the set-up of our vehicles, unfortunately prams cannot be brought onto the show.
How is AURA different from the old ‘Blood on the Southern Cross’ show?
Blood on the Southern Cross was about the Eureka Rebellion and its impact on the development of Australia as a nation.
AURA follows gold from its creation through to its discovery right up until the current day. The Eureka story is told as part of this but in a completely new way and within the context of a much larger story incorporating the history of the local Aboriginal people. AURA is much broader, much more exciting, and delves deeper than ‘Blood on the Southern Cross’.
Is the show in multiple languages?
AURA is currently available in English.
Is dinner available before the show?
Dinner will not be available until further notice.
Are photographs or film permitted throughout the show?
Flash photography is strictly forbidden during the show.
Is the show suitable for children?
Parental discretion is required as the show employs loud sound effects and dramatic pyrotechnics. Strollers/prams are not permitted.
Can I use my discount offer?
All existing offers have been suspended until further notice.
Can I book through another site such as RACV?
No, all tickets must be booked online at bookings.sovereignhill.com.au
