Good to see you finally got there OzFrog.
I hope you get another chance to fully explore this great regional city, and if you do, venture up View Street where you will find great cafes, antique shops and one of the best regional art galleries in Australia.

Tourist trams, that is. Not any kind of public transport service.

Bendigo is without doubt one of provincial Australia's grandest cities. For the international tourist this city is both a surprise and treasure to visit.
