Ballarat

It was towards the end of autumn when we had a day trip to Ballarat! 

Staying in Unilodge does have its perks. Free trips and free movies are definitely the best parts!

Was having a pretty bad week that time. All stressed up due to assignments and making decisions. I didn't get to sleep the whole night and I just went straight for the trip. End of the day I was definitely exhausted after all the walking and lack of sleep.

Sovereign Hill is all about the gold mine. How the whole city was built and how it looked like back in 1800s. It is like a huge ass LIVE museum where you get to experience it yourself. People dress just like in the 1800s and all its settings to the very detailed are practically just how it is back then.

You would like it if you like history and museums. IF you are going during the rainy season, please don't wear white shoes! I wore white shoes and I learnt my lesson!

I was hopping from left to right just to avoid mud but in the end it still got dirty.

Me and le housemate, Vivi

For us Unilodgers, we got in for free. But to pay to go in, hmmm... not that worth it if you don't like these kind of things. This is practically it, just that it's big. No rides or games. Just buildings and information on how  they make gold and how the city was built.

Just a little insight for those who wants to visit Ballarat!
