In Ballarat, a bit southeast of town is the Sovereign Mine. At the same site is the Gold Museum. In there, is a good historical description of the rise and fall of gold mining in and around Ballarat. We may yet return to visit the mine to see what it was like.
However, much to our surprise, the museum was also hosting a special exhibit on the TV show The Doctor Blake Mysteries. This was fun. Above you see me behind Dr. Blake's desk with (a cardboard cutout of) him beside me.
Before we arrived, busloads of young people came through and seemed to be fascinated by the typewriter. I suppose they'd never seen one before.
The exhibit had various costumes from the show.
And a room set up as part of a set. The show was playing on the vintage TV (but it was in color, not B&W).
Out front was Dr. Blake's car.
Hope all the Dr. Blake fans out there appreciate this preview of the exhibit.
