What an awesome tour totally enjoyed this ❤

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Thank you so much Mark and Annette and it was a fascinating place to tour and well worth a visit. Thank you for your awesome support my friends 😍

[@ComehitherwithHeather]

What a fascinating place. You captured it so well. I honestly think the Eureka flag should be out national flag. It is definitely a place I'd like to visit one day!! Awesome work Drew!!

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

I think you're spot on Heather we should do that or at least have a flag that represents the Australian story moreso than the current flag. Thank you so much my amazing friend 😍

[@brunfree]

Now this is a place I need to go visit . Brilliant video. Everyone needs to see this and learn. Thanks Drew for showing us. ❤

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

It's absolutely fascinating and something more people should learn about I agree, Brun. Definitely do a tour when you next head to Ballarat 💯 😍

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

Fantastic, Drew! That monster nugget is pretty cool. I enjoyed the displays and the history. 😊

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

It would be pretty fainting worthy to find that hey Princess lol. At least I know I'd faint 😂 . Thank you for watching my friend and for your amazing support 💯 😍. I hope you're keeping well

Well Narrated Drew.. cheers Famo59 👍⛏️

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Thank you so much Tony. Trying to get my word flow a lot better lol 😆.

[@JohnShinn1960]

Nice info here drew, it took a little while longer to get through for the pauses and zooms. 👍🤠

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Thank you so much John and yes I always try get the information boards in the videos so people can explore them at their own pace. Thank you for watching and being an incredible channel supporter my friend 😍

[@brushitoff503]

Before I get more than 30 seconds in, I will say the last time I walked through that place, I was 10. That was a long time ago.

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

You should definitely go back for a 2nd look, mate. There's a lot of updates, as you'll see. It's a really unique event in Australia and I'm glad they made this centre to acknowledge it. Thank you so much and hope you're keeping well my friend 😃

[@brushitoff503]

@@DrewsAdventuresGo I have old eyes so to speak, I'm not sure I like what it's become but thanks mate, unique is a thing, but Isn't that everyday? It is for me, no day is he same.

Hello from U.S.A. Loved this video! Brun Free sent me.👍🏼🇺🇸

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

G'day Jean and welcome to my channel and I appreciate your support and Brun is a wonderful person (lives in the same city as me - Adelaide in Australia). Hope you are having a wonderful Friday and Happy weekend 😀

[@nannerz1994]

Excellent video Drew I'm so glad to finally see some more Australian history! Hope you make a few more of these types of videos:) We also have a Eureka, California! Very North Coast Port Town but it's referring to the California Gold Rush of 1849! (That's why the San Francisco NFL team is called the 49ers) Looks like yours was only 2 years later in 1851. Surrounded by beautiful redwoods as well.

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Thank you so much Nannerz and I'll definitely try get some more of these style videos up 😍. I have heard of Eureka CA and that is a neat story as to why the 49ers are called that name. I really must try get to the Redwood forest in Victoria, for you 🌳

[@eugenio1542]

Suitably reverent 🤫😇Thank you. Mad, Sad and bad that the CFMEU union has now disgraced itself and this flag with its corruption. 😢

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Thank you so much mate and I agree there. I hope the powers that be can rid the union of that sort of stuff. The grass roots members deserve nothing less than transparent and accountable leadership.

[@aaax9410]

Nice video mate :)

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Thank you, kindly. I had a lot of fun here as I'm a huge history lover and especially gold fields history, in Australia. Glad you enjoyed it my friend 😃

[@PeterMcginley77985621]

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

I hear you there Peter. Did you live in either Ballarat or Bendigo? I spent some time living in Hoppers Crossing in western Melbourne too. Absolutely love Victoria and just wish it was more affordable 😂 . I loved this place so much and I'm glad that my passion for the story came through the video, too. Thank you so much my friend 😍

[@PeterMcginley77985621]

@@DrewsAdventuresGo unfortunately i didnt live in country towns i was in suburbian place called glenroy i hope you heard of broadmeadows was a nick name for it olsen place at the time growing up as a kid its was a rough area but your right melbourne and victoria are lovely areas to be visited them a lot as a kid panning for gold at souverine hill so much old townships they build so the public could see how and what it was like in the days that were great and it has become expensive but now i been in queensland for over 35 years and love it here but have lots of fond memories of melbourne victoria hoppers crossing i think i had done jobs with my brother in law at a bowling allay buffering the polished floor boards when the place was empty cant recall the name of the bowling alley love your video heaps drew cheers matey.

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Yes I have heard of Broadmeadows mate and Glenroy. I recall my ex calling me as I was walking around "Broady" and he was panicked thinking I was gonna get in strife with someone there cos apparently it has / had a slight reputation. I think it's awesome you have been able to live in so many places. I love SA but Vic and Queensland too I'm hugely fond of and spent some amazing times in my life in both states😍 💯

[@PeterMcginley77985621]

@@DrewsAdventuresGo a slight reputation it was not really great drew but were the years i would never forget great times and some not so great i aint been to SA but maybe one day mate 😉.

Nearly star Australian Civil War in 1854 and 1880 was Ned Kelly final stand battle of Glenrowan

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Indeed that could have been a much bigger thing if it had gotten worse hey

[@geoffreytbh]

Imagine if that was the actual nugget…would be worth a fortune. Wonder if it’s with a private collector or in a museum somewhere

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

I agree it'd be under a few more layers of protection I reckon haha. It was melted down and sold to London's Mint where it was turned into Gold Sovereign coins. They are themselves quite collectable and valuable 🪙 😍

Thank you so much Annabelle and for your awesome support and sharing the video. You mean a lot to me 🤗 and stay awesome, Annabelle 😍

[@jaydincole3116]

You know it’s hard. It’s about that Australian is going to war against Chinese and Russians for our king countries. And for Australian, Australian never have Civil War however imagine if Civil War has started in Australians because imagines it was a humans right? Aussie and Aboriginal was right for republic about saving water in Australia’s

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

I think history wise we could well have ended up at some point in any of those situations you mentioned. Thank you for your comment and glad you enjoyed the video mate 😀
