What to pack
CLOTHING
Always, always, bring something warm to wear (e.g. a jacket), even in the summer months, as Ballarat is prone to "cold snaps".
SOVEREIGN HILL
Sturdy, comfortable, enclosed footwear is a must for Sovereign Hill's rocky terrain. And not your best shoes, because they will get very dusty/muddy, depending on the weather.
