The journey begins...

Went to Ballarat, Sovereign Hill with my aunt on a day trip yesterday.
Ballarat is a town which is abt 2 hours from the city. Sovereign Hill resembles the gold mining era at Ballarat in the 1850s. It was quite an interesting place to visit.
There were shops such as the bakery, the pottery, library, schools, small chinese village ... set up like in the 1850s, they even have people working there (as in, walking around), wearing costumes like those in the 1850s.
We went to see the gold pouring show. The guy (blacksmith) showed us how those ppl back then make those 99.99% pure gold bricks.
We played bowling there as well. It's a wooden ball and have 9 (i think) wooden pins. and the bowling alley is soooo much longer than those mordern ones. So, the ball i threw... stopped just right before it hits those pins! aih... haha! Didn't have lunch before that maybe?! haha!
So after that, we had lunch we packed at the bowling place.
The day trip started at 8.45am, arrived at Sovereign Hill at 11am.
The coach driver was also our tour guide. He didn't show us around Sovereign Hill though, coz we just walked around by ourselves using a map.
But he explained about Ballarat and everything we came across along the journey.
We went to the gold museum as well. But, well, it's a bit disappointing to me. Coz nothing much to see there. Not to say not interesting, but not much stuff there.
we left Sovereign Hill at 3.30pm, back in the city at 5.15
