Redcoats at Sovereign Hill in September 2006

Historica has developed a special vacation program for Sovereign Hill, Ballarat to be delivered in September 2006.

The program will bring the military stockade to life with a tented encampment and professional historical interpretors depicting key individuals within the 12th and 40th Foot detachments present in December 1854.

Historica see this as a great opportunity to be involved in bringing a side of the Eureka story that has been traditionally overshadowed by other events alive for the visitors of Sovereign Hill in September 2006.

Sovereign Hill, Ballarat has been wowing audiences for 35 years! They have been voted Australia's best Major Tourist Attraction at the 2005/06 National Tourism Awards. Generations of Australians and overseas visitors have experienced the recreated 1850s goldfields township where real gold flows in the creek and history comes alive. Sovereign Hill's commitment to authenticity and value-for-money make it one of the best family tourist attractions in the world.
