Voyage to Discovery Exhibit

Photos taken on the 20th of April 2008

The gang went to Ballarat for a tour of Sovereign Hill, the occasion was for Eugene's bday. Entrance was about $35 per person but not it seems to be $39.50 - it also includes entry to the Gold Museum across the road. It's about an hour and a half drive from Melbourne.

Sovereign Hill is a huge outdoor museum depicting Ballarat's gold-mining history. There are different exhibits to see to fill a whole day. It's best to plan your day so you won't miss out on anything. Be sure to wear closed-toe shoes or risk having dusty feet. My friend and I were wearing thongs and needless to say, our feet was covered in dust & dirt.

We ate at one of the restaurants called United States Hotel where you can dine in "Victorian Splendour". As expected at zoo/theme parks/museums/attractions, the food did not fail to disappoint. hahaha The servings were small for exorbitant prices.

The photos can show you what's at Sovereign Hill.

I've decided to create a blog showcasing all the places I've been to in Australia and overseas. I want to be able to share the photos and some of the experiences I've encountered while visiting those places. Old photos will be shown but they will be stamped with a date so you know when it was taken. I might also post some kind of review of hotels & restaurants in those places I've visted. I want to explore the world, one baby step at a time.... full info
