Description
Delve into a spine-chilling exploration of ghostly tales from Victoria’s gold rush era.
Drawing on his extensive research, Dr. David Waldron uncovers how ghost stories emerged as a cultural response to trauma, blending history, folklore, and the eerie tradition of ‘playing the ghost.’
From the haunted halls of the Ararat Lunatic Asylum to Ballarat’s spectral legends, discover the strange and supernatural world of 19th-century Australia.
Sovereign Hill's Australian Centre for Gold Rush Collections(Gold Rush Centre for short) is home to an amazing collection that brings together 150,000 objects that tell the stories of this region, and its many diverse people, practices and ideas.
It’s a place for new ideas and for discovery.
Through unique programs and experiences, the Gold Rush Centre presents stories and objects that connect you to our heritage and culture.
