Sovereign Hill invites you to step into the story these autumn school holidays.

Sovereign Hill's iconic costumed characters are taking centre stage, bringing the museum to life with their thrilling tales and adventures.

More than just actors, these characters are inspired by real people - rebels, rogues, and everyone in between - who left a lasting impact on the goldfields.

Stroll alongside a whip-cracking heroine, bold Redcoat soldiers, a resilient nurse, colourful doctor, sly grog seller, and steadfast undertakers who don't just re-enact history they invite you into it.

These characters and their passions, hardships, and remarkable resilience transform history from something you read in a book into a world waiting to be explored in real time.

It's time to step into the story and live the adventure!

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
