Many teacher friends of mine have taken school groups to Sovereign Hill which is hardly surprising. It's an enjoyable educational experience for kids and adults. The Sovereign Hill experience really is a step back in to the time of the gold rush. Characters from a town - a doctor, a sweet maker, a blacksmith, people trying their luck in search of gold and others - interact with visitors.
Our kids loved visiting the blacksmith, the lolly shop and panning for gold in the creek which runs through the property. We also watched as gold was poured (all $140k worth), had a ride on a horse and carriage and watched a demonstration by red coats.
This easier free camp for the night. We found out later that it was wrongly identified on a map and isn't a public place but we were able to stay.
