Abstract

Sovereign Hill is an outdoor museum at Ballarat opened in 1970 and representing the historic gold mining era in Victoria. One of its many exhibits is an engine house with what has always been said to be a 'John Donald' winding engine. This paper is an attempt to uncover more of the story of this historic winding engine.
