Written by Abbey Harford SOVEREIGN HILL CAMP 2014

HORSE AND CARTS WERE GOING AROUND SOVEREIGN HILL AS A RIDE AND EACH TIME IT PICKED UP NEW PASSENGERS YOU GOT TO PAT THE HORSES.

GOLD PANNING WAS AN ACTIVITY YOU COULD DO TO TRY AND FIND GOLD IN THE CREEK WHERE THEY PUT GOLD IN EVERY MORNING

AT SOVEREIGN HILL THEY HAD MODEL HOUSES THAT YOU COULD ENTER AND LOOK AT

THE TEMPERATURE IN BALLARAT IN THE MORNING WAS MINUS 2 DEGREES

THERE WERE LOTS OF CHINESE STORES ON THE GOLD FIELDS

WE WENT TO A CANDLE DIPPING DEMONSTRATION AND I MADE MY OWN CANDLE

THE CHINESE TEMPLE WAS ON DISPLAY AT THE GOLDFIELDS

IN ONE OF THE SHOPS THERE WERE OLD DRESSES IN THE WINDOW

THERE WERE LOTS OF TENTS AT THE GOLDFIELDS

RASPBERRY DROPS WERE A COMMON FAVOURITE OF THE STUDENTS

THERE WERE LOTS OF PEOPLE TRYING TO FIND GOLD IN THE CREEK

THE SOUTHERN CROSS IS THE SYMBOL OF THE EUREKA STOCKADE

WE WROTE WITH AN INK AND QUILL

THERE WERE OLD SAYINGS IN THE CLASSROOM

WE WATCHED A BLACKSMITH DO A GOLD POURING DEMONSTRATION This is worth over $100,000

THANK YOU
