Gold Mining

My trip to Melbourne is almost over. I had a lot of fun. Kaki hari-hari terasa nak tercabut sebab 90% of my trip we walk. Now, its time to pack my luggage and go home :).

In my last post I did mention about I was going some where and it is all about gold kan? Anyway, we actually went to Sovereign Hill, Ballarat (almost 2 hours journey) to visit the gold mining.

The weather was nice but all of a sudden it started to became very hot and we were a bit burnt. The place is not that big but it was very tiring because it was a hill and we had to walk! (ayooo..i rather walk to the city from my brother's place heh). We also get to know the history of the village, what they to for a living, how to find a gold and you also get to experience how to dig for a gold :). If you're lucky you might find one because they are still there :).

We also got to experience how the workers stayed up for month to look for gold. Where they build a tunnel and stayed down there for a month. They showed the first gold nugget was found by the erm..the name is Sir__something something heh. Camera are not allowed in the tunnel so no pictures were taken during the 12 minutes on-your-own-trip.

The workers also wear what they used to wear in the 1950's (I think. Oh, I'm so bad at remembering even though I my favourite subject in school used to be HISTORY!..no, I'm not kidding :D)

The best part of this trip is that I get to see how they make the 80,000 gold. You know the one yang orang simpan dekat bank tue. Yes, the pictures I'm about to show you is real! :)

Ladies and gentlemen that is how you make gold! hehe :)

Some other things that they do here are:

They make candies :)

They have their own bowling alley :)

And that was my trip to Ballarat for gold mining. I have lots of things to update but I think its going to take some times. I have upload most of my pictures in Melbourne on facebook. Do check it out if you're free but it takes some times to look at them all because I have tonnes of it :).

I'll be leaving soon. Can't wait to go back home. See you lovelies in Malaysia :)
