On Friday the seniors went to Sovereign Hill in Ballarat. I was in a group with Trav, Tess, Cooper M, Cooper T, Chloe and Jamie. We did gold panning and I found a tiny speck of gold. We did bowling and I got a strike. We went on a tour into an underground mine and there was lot’s of mining equipment as well. We watched a video of a miner who struck a giant nugget of gold. Everybody bought lollies at the lolly shop like lollipops, raspberry drops, toffee apples and much more. We looked in old shops, the cinema, the chemist and the bank and also old canvas tents that people used to live in back in the days of mining and the gold rush. We dressed up in old fashioned clothes and learnt about the first ship with a metal hull, sails and a motor that runs on steam. The name of the ship was called the Great Britain. We watched the gold poring and it was amazing to see such a bright light of gold being poured into an ingot shape.
