Bendigo City Tour | A day trip from Melbourne via V/Line

This is a short film of Bendigo city tour from Melbourne via V line.

The regional city of Bendigo is in Central Victoria and is only a 150km drive north of Melbourne. Having a car is the best way to explore the city, but the train is an excellent option for a day trip.

Bendigo | The Golden City
Bendigo is a major regional city and the fourth largest city in the state of Victoria. The greater city has a population of over 100,000 people. It is located close to the geographical Centre of Victoria, so it is relatively easy to visit from anywhere in the state or to incorporate into a larger
road trip of this part of Australia.
Bendigo’s past centuries around gold. It was discovered here in the 1850s and was closely followed by a large influx of migrants for around the world. Within a year, it had transformed from a sheep station to a major settlement. Since 1851, a whopping 777 tones of gold has been removed from this area. In the 19th century, it was Australia’s highest producing gold.
Bendigo is known for its architectural heritage – the city centre is very pretty with beautiful late Victorian colonial style buildings plentiful. There are not just buildings, shops and restaurants, but lovely big parks and walking trails.
