澳洲淘金熱

（ 1851年-19世纪60年代末）

始於維多利亞州和新南威爾士州，

迅速將澳洲由流放地轉變為

繁榮的移民国家。

此浪潮帶來全球移民，

推動了巴拉瑞特等城鎮的繁榮。

並為澳洲現代多元文化

與經濟發展奠定了基礎。

19世纪80年代，

墨爾本成為世界最大、

最繁華的大都會之一。

秋高氣爽的午後來到疏芬山 (Sovereign Hill) 。

攜家帶眷的老少婦孺

前來此地體驗當年淘金情節。

看到遠方的裊裊炊煙⋯

往日時光彷彿重現眼前。

Australian gold rush

(1851 to the late 1960s)

Starting from Victoria and New South Wales.

Quickly transform Australia from exile to prosperity immigrant countries.

This wave brings global immigration,

it has promoted the prosperity of Balarat 

and other towns.

Also for Australia's modern multiculturalism.

It has laid the foundation for economic development.

In the 19th century, 1880s

Melbourne has become one of the most prosperous, largest, metropilises city in the world.

Come to Sovereign Hill 

in the afternoon of autumn.

People with their families

come here to experience 

the plot of gold panning.

Seeing the smoke curling up from chimneys in the distance...

The scenes of the past 

seems to reappear in front of me.
