Sovereign Hill

Our next stop for the trip are the Gold Museum and Sovereign Hill. Unfortunately, we are only allocated with 1 hour to tour the town. This is really not adequate since it was a huge town and I reckon should take us at least 4 hours to really enjoy the whole stuff being offered here. Really need to come here again.

The main entrance to Sovereign Hill.


It was raining so it did hamper us a bit.


Passage to the underground mines.


Deserted.


The weather started to change now, for the better.


Groceries??? Reminds me to do my groceries... Stocks are getting low.


Slaughter house, where's the butcher???


End of the rail.


Horse for hire.


Is he asleep???


Gold diggers...


Lets join the fray.


Any luck???


Carriage ride.


Weird look... Must be because of the weather.


Town folks.


Lady in red. She is our tour leader and now she is calling everyone to go to the bus. Sigh...


I'm not finished yet...


Since I didn't found any gold, might as well just buy it at the souvenir shop. Huhu...

P/s It is morning and it is raining outside...

IDP trip to Ballarat

Joined a trip organized by IDP of Melbourne a few weeks ago. From Melbourne to Sovereign Hill to La Trobe University and then back to the city. All in just a day.

For safety reason, every passenger needs to buckle up.


Our first stop of the day.


Fresh and cheap fruits.


I'm already full so, I didn't buy any.


Nice, fat pumpkins.


The bus.


Yadda, yadda, yadda...


Here we are, the town of Ballarat.


Polish traditional clothes at the Gold Museum.


Pure gold???


Lift used in the gold mines during the good old days.


Blood on the Southern Cross???


Souvenirs galore.


Hrmmm, nothing good to say about this guy...

P/s I'm off today, after working all week long... Need to get some fresh air outside...
