How did the sovereign hill gold rush start?

There was no 'Sovereign Hill' Gold Rush. Sovereign Hill is the name for an outdoor museum in Ballarat that shows what the gold rushes in Victoria (and inparticular, Ballarat) were like. Sovereign Hill captures the gold-rush period of 1851-1861 (mostly) in Ballarat, including replicas of the diggings, shops on the Main Road and houses. The Ballarat gold rush began after two men (Regan and Dunlop) found gold in Canadian Creek and were discovered by a reporter.
