Sovereign Hill Tours

If you ask anyone who grew up in Melbourne where their favourite school trip was, there’s a high chance they’ll say Sovereign Hill!

The storybook town of Sovereign Hill is an immersive outdoor museum, and a day tour here will take you back to the famous Gold Rush of the 1800’s, a historic event which was hugely responsibly for shaping the future Australia. The Gold Rush saw immigrants travelling to Australia from all around the world to get their hands on the large amounts of gold discovered underground.
