What to expect
Step back in time and escape the modern hustle on our exclusive Ballarat day trip. Your adventure begins with a visit to Sovereign Hill, a living museum that transports you to the vibrant days of the 1850s gold rush. Wander through the recreated township bustling with activity, witness blacksmiths at work, and try your hand at gold panning in Red Hill Gully. Feel the excitement of striking it rich as you uncover specks of gold amidst the flowing waters. Next, choose your path for the afternoon's adventure. Opt to continue your exploration of nature and wildlife at Ballarat Wildlife Park, where native Australian animals roam freely in their natural habitats. Alternatively, venture to the picturesque town of Daylesford, renowned for its rejuvenating hot springs and artisanal delights. Relax and unwind in the healing waters, stroll through quaint streets lined with boutique shops, and indulge in gourmet treats from local cafes and bakeries.
