What to do at the Grampians and Goldfields

Sovereign Hill is an absolute must for anyone visiting the Goldfields area to the west of Melbourne, which magnificently recreates Ballarat's first ten years after the discovery of gold back in 1851. Enjoy street theatre, live music, and the opportunity to pan for gold yourself, whilst learning about the history and rags to riches tales of the people that ventured here. Sovereign Hill is now a major Australian tourism icon winning countless major tourism awards and attracting some 450,000 visitors each year.
