Bendigo

There is a lot to see and do in the beautiful, historical town. Don't miss out. If you don't want to drive, take a train. If your a walker, you'll love it, but if not local buses will take you around. There is also the Vintage Talking Tram Tour. Your ticket is good for 2 days and you can get on and off at any stop. Have fun!

Beautiful city , with so much heritage .. Majority of eating places were good... And we couldn't help but notice the friendly people. Real "Country Hospitality" in a city ...very nice , thankyou .

After a day in Bendigo with a friend I remarked that everyone we'd dealt in (in shops, eateries and the art gallery) had been pleasant. My friend had stayed in Bendigo for a few days on another occasion and had become fond of the place. On the demerit side, the city is nastily chopped apart by broad, busy roads; it could be far more elegantly laid out with pedestrians in mind. Thankfully there are a couple of malls, and local drivers do give way to pedestrians.The city and surrounds have a large population of welfare-dependent people. This is reflected in the high number of opportunity (charity) shops. Cultural institutions and social history attract visitors and spending money; I hope Bendigo continues to build on this strength.

I would highly recommend this place, A bit of everything for everyone. Driving into the city at night is beautiful how they have set out the lighting. most shop keepers were friendly and food wise has a good variety for all occasions. Lots of activities for kids if your on a budget in particular was the bendigo pottery. kids had a ball being able to have hands on activities

Came for the Marilyn exhibition and had a wonder around Bendigo. Nice clean town with plenty of open space, beautiful gardens, unfortunately Saturday afternoon so lots of retail outlets were closed. Tour tram for visitors and in the hat shop lovely informative and helpful lady. Lots of eateries - something for everyone. Free parking at a short distance
