Blood on the Southern Cross

Blood on the Southern Cross is an explosive multi-million dollar sound-and-light show like nothing you've ever seen before! Set under the night skies at Sovereign Hill, Blood on the Southern Cross involves no actors - just voices, dazzling sound and light effects and a stunning open-air set.

The story of the Eureka Rebellion, a dramatic battle between gold miners and Government forces at Ballarat on 3 December 1854, is retold nightly. Experience the miners' disgust at unfair gold taxes and witness the dramatic burning of the Eureka Hotel. Then, listen to Governor Hotham's reasoning for a dawn attack on a band of men who were the first to swear an oath of loyalty on Australian soil to a flag that was not British - the flag of the Southern Cross.

Make a complete evening of your visit to Blood on the Southern Cross by enjoying a total package, inclusive of two-course dinner prior to the show.
