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!

The story of the Eureka Rebellion, a dramatic battle between gold miners and Government forces at Ballarat on 3 December, 1854, is retold nightly at Blood on the Southern Cross, Sovereign Hill's acclaimed sound-and-light spectacular.

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. Visitors travel across the site on a comfortable transporter and view much of the action from the recreated Free Trade Hotel on the Eureka Diggings.
