Day 5 last day Ballarat and back to Melbourne

This morning after a restful night we departed the Ansonia Hotel and headed out in search of a hardy breakfast.
The Bibo Bistro is a 50's style diner that offered a good selection from it's menu such as...Bibo Deluxe - eggs with hollandaise, bacon, sausage, potato rubble, mushroom, overnight tomato, spinach, homemade bibo beans & toasted wood fired foccacia....to .... Inhouse musesli with fresh fruit and berry yoghurt. 
The coffee must be good as these cups belonged to patrons that frequent the bistro.
....that was a great meal and a good capuccino...
and too full for a muffin to go. A short walk back to the Kia and on to our excursion at Sovereign Hill.

Sovereign Hill is a historic representation of Ballarat's early goldfields. The living museum covers 25 hectares of a former gold mining site and it offers the visitor an insight of day to day life.
Here we are working off our breakfast.

Panning for gold is a lot harder than it looks.
Our good friend the ex Premier Mr. Bolte needed to use our IPhone so we had to oblige. Hope it wasn't a long distant call. Tonight we are back to Louisa's gorgeous home and tomorrow we are touring Melbourne.
