Seeing as I am currently living across the road from Sovereign Hill I figured it was time to check it out. So four of us headed in. I'll admit I wasn't expecting too much and thought it would be a bit crap to be honest. I'm happy to say I was proven completely wrong. This place is great fun. Very well done and worth the visit. It's kind of like it's one of the "Lands" at Disneyland. It's pretty much almost the same quality only no rides. But that's cool cos there's heaps of other stuff to do and see and let's be honest, a roller coaster just wouldn't look right in this authentically recreated old mining town would it?! If you go, make sure you buy the Raspberry drops.. oh my god, so good, they're like candy crack.

| And we're in |
 |
| A little jig on the main st |
 |
| So that's what's under that tower I see from my place everyday |
 |
| Old miners cottages, very well done ones too |
 |
| Not sure the steam punk puppet show was truly authentic but it was a bit of fun |
 |
| Even the Chinese speaking tour guides were dressed for the period |
 |
| Dressing for another period entirely |
 |
| And a little gold panning to finish the day |
 |
| Wont be retiring just yet, Liana should have panned harder IMO |
