On saturday we drove down to Ballarat, one of Australias main historical gold mining sites.

On the way we stopped at a chocolate factory, after all Caroline is expecting so she should eat whatever she wants.

Tried our hand at fossicking and watched $65.000,00 worth of gold being smelted. Also had a go at bowling, the historic way (would be easier if the balls were actually round).
