Sovereign Hill, Historical outdoor museum in Golden Point, Australia
The 37-acre museum complex contains 60 historical buildings, workshops, mines, and a creek where visitors can search for gold particles.
The museum stands on the site of the 1851 Victorian gold rush, where the Welcome Nugget, weighing 69 kilograms, was discovered in the Red Hill Mine.
Period-dressed staff demonstrate traditional crafts, including blacksmithing, candle making, confectionery production, and gold pouring in authentic 1850s settings.
Sovereign Hill operates from Tuesday to Sunday between 10 AM and 5 PM, with extended hours during the Melbourne Cup weekend and special events.
The underground mine tours present geological displays, steam-driven machinery, and the story of the Welcome Nugget through self-guided and guided experiences.
