SATURDAY 27 FEBRUARY TO FRIDAY 5 MARCH 2021

Within 20 years of the City of Melbourne being settled the discovery of gold, and the quantity of gold discovered made Melbourne the richest city in the world … our tour will see us visit those parts of Victoria that played a substantial role in that achievement.

Before making our way in to the heart of gold country we make a stop at the historic town of Echuca and visit the Port of Echuca, it was the largest inland port in Australia in the late 1800’s.

We have two nights at each of Victoria’s largest gold producing regions, Bendigo and then Ballarat … in Bendigo we will visit the Central Deborah Mine, located in the centre of town the mine is still a working mine today. The Golden Dragon Museum will provide us with the story of the contribution the Chinese have had from the Gold Rush of the 1850’s to present day.

Ballarat is next on our list, Victoria’s third largest city it too has an immense Gold Rush history, with gold being found at Poverty Point through to the uprising of the Eureka Stockade in 1854, said to be one of the most defining moments in Australia’s history. No stay in Ballarat would be complete without a visit to Sovereign Hill during the day, and then again at night to witness the amazing lightshow.
