📍Mine Tour

Descend into the depths of an underground mine and uncover the realities of life beneath the surface. This guided experience offers a fascinating glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of the 1850s gold miners.

Overview

Step back in time and experience the excitement of Victoria’s 1850s gold rush at Sovereign Hill, Australia’s premier outdoor museum where history truly comes to life.


Wander through the bustling streets of a recreated 19th-century mining town, where costumed characters, horse-drawn carriages, and the clang of the blacksmith’s forge transport you to another era. Feel the energy of the Redcoat Parade, complete with musket-firing displays that echo the spirit of the past.


Try your luck panning for real gold in the creek — just as hopeful prospectors once did — and experience the thrill of discovery with every swirl of your pan. Then, venture underground on a guided mine tour for a glimpse into the challenging world of the miners who shaped Victoria’s history.


From the charm of the main street to the sparkle of gold dust in your hands, every moment at Sovereign Hill captures the wonder and adventure of the gold rush days.
