What travellers are saying
- Tracie SLaunceston, Australia61 contributionsInformative tour of gold mine. Great presentation by Nathan. Terrific for children and adults alike. Learn about the mining of gold and go underground into the mine. Very safe tour, plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Learn about drilling, the history of the mine and how to tell the difference between Gold and Fools gold.Written 20 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Moya Merv HMackay, Australia8 contributionsWe visited the Bendigo Pottery last week and found it really interesting. There is lots to see as well as really interesting pottery items to buy to suit many tastes. The cafe serves great coffee with wonderfully fresh food also available. The artisan workshops and displays adjacent are amazing. Attached to the pottery is a vintage shop that held many surprises. We easily spent a couple of hours meandering around the whole complex.Written 12 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PatriceBrisbane, Australia8 contributionsBendigo is well signed and easy to get about the town easily.
My visit was mainly to visit the Bendigo Art Gallery - for the special "Womens Weekly Exhibition. The presentation of the exhibition is A1. The train service from Melbourne is easily sourced and extremely comfortable. I look forward to my next visit.Written 9 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is a newer modern garden with a stunning architectural cafe building and a great outdoor space with a large stage. Really well laid out and must be quite a special place when events are on. Definitely worth a visit and enjoy the outdoors. Recommend better than Rosalind Gardens in town.Written 22 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
