Day 18: Sovereign Hill

  Gold:

 A lesson in gold panning

 

 

 Our spoils (definitely not enough to retire on!)

Watching a gold pour

 

We spent most of the day at Sovereign Hill and had a fabulous time! Our first stop was the gold panning, which Selby became a little obsessed with! Our finds were meagre, but strangely addictive. My conclusion was that gold panners must have been crazy men with bad necks! Ethan said his favourite part of the day was watching the gold ingot being poured.
