Step back in time and discover Victoria’s fascinating past on this full-day tour to Werribee Mansion and Sovereign Hill. Departing from Melbourne, travel through the scenic countryside on your way to Werribee Mansion, one of Victoria’s grandest 19th-century estates. Wander through rooms filled with antique furnishings, stroll the gardens, and uncover the old stories of legacy that shaped this heritage landmark. Your morning offers a glimpse into the luxury and lifestyle of early Melbourne.

Continue your journey along the Golden Trail to Sovereign Hill, an authentic re-creation of a 1850s gold mining town. You can try your luck panning for gold at Red Gully Creek, explore underground mine tunnels, and watch live demonstrations of early mining machinery. Next, wander down the main street and meet costumed characters, while being surrounded by old-style shops. Round out the day with a guided town tour of Ballarat, featuring architecture and gardens that tell stories of the newfound wealth. This immersive experience is the perfect blend of history, discovery, and Aussie spirit.
