Melbourne for history geeks

I have admired Cartier watches and jewellery for many years, so my friends and I were most enthusiastic about attending and the displays were amazing and stunning. Unfortunately I would have really liked a catalogue but these were not available.

Sovereign Hill is a great day out for the whole family. There is lots to see and do such as panning for gold, watching a wheel being made, going down into a mine, watching lollies being made, seeing the authentic buildings, characters and displays from the 1850s, and so much more. We went on a weekday in September and apart from a few school groups it was fairly quiet which made it easy to make your way around the town and get to all of the events. There are a few different food options available and some unique items and souvenirs you can buy. It's a full day so make sure you are there early to ensure you can go to all of the activities that are scheduled throughout the day.

John Paul was a fantastic guide, had the best time on the great ocean road trip. It's stunning, lots of little stops on the way. I been wanting to do this trip for so long and it was a sunny beautiful day.

The ROMA exhibition was truly impressive and beautifully presented. It was a wonderful experience to explore the history, culture, and everyday life of the Roman Empire. The displays, information, and overall atmosphere were excellent. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Melbourne Museum.

Booking was easy, however, information on each type of ticket was rather ambiguous resulting in us booking another 4 tickets directly with Sovereign Hill for the 8.45pm show, to ensure we get to see the winter wonder lights. As it turned out however, the 5 - 7pm session included the winter wonder lights, so in fact we double booked to see the same show twice. Not happy.

Coming together with friends who all enjoy fashion and style. The exhibition was well worth the flight from Brisbane to attend.
