2nd Part of my vacation!

As posted on my previous blog, we went to the wildlife park located in Ballarat town. On the same day too, we headed to Soreveign Hill which is not far fr the wildlife park.
So, wat's in Sovereign Hill?? It was famous because..... it is living museum representing Ballarat discovery of gold long long time ago. In short, it was a gold mining area a few decades ago. Now it is open for tourists and the admission fee is NOT CHEAP.. abt $30++.. Luckily we followed the day tour, everything was included. :)

The whole place was awesome. It was like a very old town and we felt like we were back in the 1850's. Everything was so antique. The have everything in the town including bakeries, pubs, bowling alleys, schools, churches n a whole lot more. Couldn't describe the feeling when i was there. It's just... ermm.. like in the movies... haha..

We notice some of the workers there purposely dressed like how the people in 1850's. Just to entertain the tourists like us. We name them "the olden people"..lol..

Some of the "very old looking products"
