墨爾本﹕ 淘金之旅 Melbourne---Gold Mine Tour

釣魚之行結束後，我們接著便來到了150年前在維多利亞中部地區的淘金熱潮的地方---「金礦」。

After fishing, we went to gold mine located in Victoria center.
距離墨爾本不遠的金礦地區有寬敞的街道、奇特的建築、花園、藝術館、節慶活動和世界級的景點。小城鎮裡仍然可見礦工居住過的小木屋和郵局。The Gold mine area, besides the wide streets, unique old building architect, garden, art museum and festivity, also retains miner residential and post office.

 

疏芬山( Sovereign Hill)是本地一個主要景點，來此便可瞭解淘金熱潮的歷史。尤瑞卡中心（Eureka Centre）和中央黛博拉金礦(Central Deborah Gold Mine)會向您講述十九世紀五十年代到六十年代間的地上和地下生活情景。博物館裡頭陳列了不同種類的金子。Sovereign Hill is a main view point, where the tourist can learn the history of gold mine.  EurekaCenter and Central Deborah Gold Mine offer documentary of lives above and underground in the 19^th century between the fifties and the sixties.  Various kinds of gold are on display in the museum.

沿著河流而下，大家學著古人拿著漏篩盤在河床邊開始淘金。我們之間好像都沒有人找到金子。
We tried in vain to scour gold through the stream.
