The Great Gold Rush

Sovereign Hill is a very famous place in Australian History. It is known as an open-air museum in Ballarat in Australia. It retains much of what life was like in the early 1850s as this was the time when gold was discovered in the area. It feels almost like some sort of western film when heading out here and has come to be one of the most famous attractions in all of Victoria. As I was nearby, it was too good a chance to miss out and so I stopped by for an experience that I would not forget any time soon.

The great gold rush is known by many around the world as the time of mining and digging for the valuable commodity. There was much fortune to be discovered in this area and it was recorded that a golden nugget of considerable size was mined. Safe to say, this would be sold on for a pretty price that reach the multiple millions.
