Then this is your chance to join Sovereign Hill’s amazing underground Mine and Gold Museum tours.
For a fully-guided tour, visit the Gold Mine and board the mine tram to journey deep below Sovereign Hill for a unique underground experience! There are three to choose from.
Sovereign Hill is a living museum with working exhibits brought to life by costumed characters and over 40 horses. Set on 25 acres of an original mining site, Sovereign Hill is a goldfields town with shops, hotels, a theatre, schools, factories, gold diggings and underground mines to explore.
The story of the Eureka Rebellion, a dramatic battle between gold miners and Government forces at Ballarat on 3 December 1854, is retold nightly by ‘Blood on the Southern Cross’, Sovereign Hill’s acclaimed sound-and-light spectacular.
The new Secret Chamber is our latest innovation! State-of-the-art technology follows the adventures of two Chinese diggers as they search for gold in a strange and hostile land!
The Secret Chamber has undergone a spectacular creative transformation!
Board a mine tram and hold on tightly as it meanders through a dark tunnel and descends into the depths of a gold mine.
Walk through a maze of tunnels with only flickering candlelight to guide you past dig sites, shafts and forbidden places, until you reach The Secret Chamber.
The sound of traditional Chinese music draws you in - and the rock walls reveal their secret! Watch in wonder as the story unfolds around you - the story of Chin Tem and his brother is a tale based on the adventures of the young Chinese diggers who flocked to Ballarat in the 1850s in search of gold.
For Deaf and hearing impaired visitors, The Secret Chamber is available as an OpenAccess Tour using Auslan translation and captions. Simply download the app from the App Store or Google Playstore onto your smartphone before your visit, or when you arrive.
