Sovereign Hill Day 2

We packed up the camper and got ready to spend another morning at Sovereign Hill.  There was so much that we still wanted to enjoy there.  Mars left us for an hour to try and get the water pump issue sorted on the caravan.


The kids were keen to have another ride on the horse and carriage.  As that wasn't busy yet we had a quick 'spin' around the town. From there the kids spent a bit of time on a Chinese craft. 



We then found Mars and moved on to the main event... Gold Panning!  We spent quite some time here with the boys starting out very enthusiastic!  However, as time went on they became less keen and realised the specks of gold weren't as exciting as noodling for opals!





We had another walk around the town and had a look through the Church there, as well as the Fire Brigade and a few more buildings.





We exited the Museum and then headed over to the Gold Museum.  We spent an hour here then headed back to the car and on the road to Torquay.  We then made our way to our camping spot for the night - Barwon River Reserve in Winchelsea.  The kids loved this location - as we were under a bridge which had a passenger train running a few times in the evening and then again in the morning.
