Sovereign Hill day1

Gold rush former site. Now open air museum.
We are staying on site in backpacker bunk bed rooms

kids first panto then gold was poured for real in a workshop
red hot ingot

then water cooled ingot in his hand
then guided tour underground
"widowmaker" drilling machine
early warning system if the timbers started creaking then run like hell. Many miners were Cornish
yes it is a diving suit ready for flooded mine rescue
