In Week 4 of this term, the year 5s went to Sovereign Hill Camp in Ballart. We learnt about the Australian Gold Rush and how the Eureka Stockade changed Australian democracy. Our top activities were gold panning where some of us it rich and found gold. We considered we were incredibly lucky! We also visited the mines underground, where we heard very realistic sounds in the tunnels. The raspberry drops were a highlight: eating them was so delicious as they exploded in your mouth. Overall Sovereign Hill was amazing. Thank you to the staff for making it happen!
