– About the Attraction | Sovereign Hill Gold Rush, Melbourne –
▲ Ballarat Gold Rush
The history of the Australian gold rush and the impact of the discovery of gold on the development of Ballarat. Since its opening in November 1970, Sovereign Hill has become an iconic attraction for the Australian tourism industry, winning numerous major tourism awards.

After the first discovery of gold in Australia in 1851, the gold rush ignited. Diggers from Europe and America flocked to the area, along with tens of thousands of Chinese laborers from the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian. Overnight, Ballarat earned the nickname "New Gold Mountain." By the early 20th century, gold had been completely mined, and the 50-year gold rush was history.

▲Add a Gold Mine Tour
You can choose to add a Gold Mine Tour: a guided tour deep underground into the gold mine. With a professional guide, you'll board a mine cart and journey through dark tunnels deep within the mine. Deep within the mine, you'll navigate a maze of tunnels, illuminated by flickering candlelight. You'll pass abandoned excavation sites and restricted areas before arriving at a secret chamber. The secret chamber experience begins with traditional Chinese music, revealing the experiences and stories of the Chen brothers, who crossed the sea from China to prospect for gold in the mid-19th century.

▲Add a Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride Experience
An additional option is available: ride in a 19th-century carriage through the park's streets and experience the unique experience of strolling through the streets in a horse-drawn carriage!
