Cheers thanks for watching 🤠
The museum has so much history and details of ancient architecture. They maintained the museum so well. It reminds me of Faisal Bin Qasim museum here in Qatar

I will definitely be using the dilly dally Sally saying to my husband. He's such a dilly dally-er! Gold rush history is always so interesting to me and that was a massive nugget of gold 😮 wow. Seems like an interesting museum to check out there!

It was definitely pretty neat! Thanks for watching!
Nice that you don't have to pay for the trams. A free museum as well? I always appreciate a historical building. I'm currently reading a book about the gold rush in California. When was Australias Gold Rush? Beautiful city center. A fascinating history Melbourne has. Good choice of music.

cheers. Gold rush in Victoria (cant say for other parts of Australia but Victoria was the biggest and most significant) was around the 1850s. Ballarat (one day will do a vlog) was the centre, today around 90 mins drive from Melbourne. But Gold was big in other regional centres such as Bendigo. It drove immigration obviously and free settlers (there was no convict colony I don't think in Victoria at all).
Wait - you don't have to pay for trams?? That's awesome
