The Grampians & Sovereign Hill - October 15th-18th, 2002

After a quick stop in Melbourne, we took off for the mountains in an effort to explore as much of Victoria as possible in the 3 weeks we have before heading to Auckland. On the way to the Grampian Mountains (NW of Melbourne) we stopped in the historic gold mining town of Ballarat to visit Sovereign Hill(a recreation of this 1850's gold mining town).
