We have a selection of podcasts on the Sovereign Hill website.
The podcast “Catholic Education in Ballarat” has author and Historian Jill Blee speak about early Catholic Schools on the Ballarat Diggings. The recording contains some wonderful quotes about the poor standards and the hardships faced by students and teachers alike. Music by Men o’ the Hill.
This is just one the many podcasts that appear on the Sovereign Hill Education website. They are available for teachers and students to view and possibly use with photo story or PowerPoint to create a photo presentation of their visit to Sovereign Hill.
Others found on the website are: ‘Why Ballarat did not become a Ghost town’, ‘Songs of the Goldfields’, ‘Settlers and songs’, ‘Alcohol on the Goldfields’, ‘What made Victoria different?’, ‘Easter Traditions’.
We also have an audio library consisting of mp3 files of various quotes. Teachers and students can download audio files of quotes from the Australian goldrushes. These quotes are primary sources – from the mouths of people who were there as interpreted by our actors. The files can be downloaded and used in digital presentations
