Bendigo is a fabulous place to immerse yourself in Australian culture.  Only ninety minutes from Melbourne, Victoria, Bendigo started out in the 1850’s as a gold rush town, only to reinvent itself into a thriving city with all the modern conveniences of life in the twenty-first century.  Whether you come for a day, catch a shuttle to Bendigo airport from Melbourne, or stay a few days in one of the quality Bendigo accommodations, you will have plenty to do.  A Bendigo Map will quickly show you where to go!

Visit Central Deborah, an authentic deep-shaft mine, riding the miners’ cage. The Joss House and Golden Dragon Museum reminds us of the hardships suffered during the gold rush.

For art lovers, the Bendigo Art Gallery is one of the finest in the region while you can catch up on all the latest release movies at the Bendigo Village cinema complex.  Bendigo weather is pleasant and there are many walking trails to enjoy as well as local wineries to visit.
