Booking was smooth and easy. Sovereign Hill was well worth the visit, interesting and significant part of Australian Victorian history.
Interesting place to go with family. Entire place is set like the mid west, with gold mining as the main backdrop. All the staffs role played as the inhabitants of the town. And they are very professional about their roles.
It was a great experience and peek into Australia’s history!
