Are you from out of town?

Why not stay for the Cycle Classic weekend and see some of the wonderful sights Ballarat has to offer.

In previous years, we have had many requests for accommodation and other activities available.  We've worked closely with Ballarat businesses who support the Fiona Elsey Cancer Research Institute and the Classic and have come up with some great recommendations.

Things to Do

40-Years-SovHill-Logo

Sovereign Hill
Website: www.sovereignhill.com.au    Ph  (03)  5331 1528

A day at Sovereign Hill is a day full of goldrush fun and adventure - set across 30 acres. Take a horse drawn carriage ride, it's a great way to get your bearings! Around town you can shop 1850's style and meet some locals at home, at school, at work and at play.

Follow the Red Coat Soldiers as they march up Main Street, but stand back as they fire their muskets! If it's gold you're chasing, take an underground mine tour or see a $120,000 gold bar poured. And if you really want to strike it rich, there's plenty of gold in the creek and it's 'finders keepers'!

During the Cycle Classic weekend, riders receive a 10% discount off day entry to Sovereign Hill. Simply mention this special offer at the door.
