- EssbeebeeAthelstone, Australia187 contributionsOne of Australia's best kept secretsWe came across this a bit by accident and I wasn't really sure what to expect. What I found was one of Australia's best kept secrets. Even though this is a work in progress, it is an incredibly impressive site. It is vast and stunning. The people were so welcoming in classic Buddhist tradition. We visited on a feast day when there were literally thousands of people there and we had to park a long way away, but even that didn't dent the enthusiasm and seeing it with so many people around was actually pretty cool. I'd say a must visit if anywhere nearby.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 15 October 2023
- rajinder kLalor, Australia5 contributionsPeaceful ✌️There is nothing you will be going to regret after visiting this place. Very peaceful atmosphere, relaxing vibes plus free books you can take home. Love to go back once the ceiling project will finish ✅️Visited November 2023Travelled with familyWritten 16 November 2023
- Daniela FDarwin, Australia1,682 contributionsPeaceful, interesting, beautiful artefacts. Worth a visit.This is such a peaceful, interesting place to visit regardless of your faith or non faith. The staff were so friendly and we were given a personal tour of the Stupa (temple building). The history of both the Stupa, the ancient stories and the beautiful artwork, Buddhas and artefacts were just wonderfully and interesting. The Stupa has a serenity that just invokes calm and peace. Entry is $10 per person. There is a cafe and a shop with lots of books, singing bowls, jewellery and more - these are all very reasonably priced. I really enjoyed the Stupa. It was lovely to appreciate the dreams of a few be realised.Visited March 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 28 March 2024
- TravellerMelbourne, Australia17,411 contributionsAn exact replica of the Great Stupa of Gyantse in TibetMy wife and I visited this place during our recent holiday in Bendigo where we stayed for two nights in a Resort. This was our second visit. We were here two years ago and wanted to visit again to see the progress of the construction works. We arrived at 9 am on a Monday morning when there were no other visitors yet. The Dalai Lama had visited this place in 2007. When completed, the stupa's exterior will be an exact replica of the Great Stupa of Gyantse in Tibet. It will be almost 50 metres high and its four sides will each be 50 metres long, making it one of the largest Buddhist monuments in the Western world. The interior has teaching rooms, a central temple, a library and 80 ornate shrine rooms. It houses the 2.5 metre Jade Buddha for Universal Peace statue, the world’s largest gem-quality jade Buddha statue. There is a vast collection of Asian sacred relics and statues on display at the Stupa's exhibition centre. We will visit again in another two years to see the progress.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 31 March 2024
- Jennie BSunbury, Australia150 contributionsA calming, interesting place to visit.We visited on a lovely sunny autumn day, perfect for a walk around the garden and outdoor religious icons. Inside the large spectacular stupa is a beautiful jade Buddha and other large Buddhist Deities made of white materiel, maybe polymer marble. One is currently being painted in bright colours. The whole area, in the Stupa and in the garden has a calming influence. We also enjoyed the vegetarian lunch served there too.Visited May 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 23 May 2024
- Meander588504108 contributionsLoved the StupaLoved our visit. It was a cold day and there were very few people there. Beautiful place with lovely gardens to walk around. We took a tour with Adam who was very knowledgeable & enthusiastic about the place. Their website says min 10 people for a tour but you can choose to take one if you’re prepared to pay for 10 people. At $120 for four we thought it was well worth the money. We learned so much more from Adam than we would have just walking around on our own. Would love to return when it’s finished. Delightful lunch in the cafe after the tour. Highly recommendedVisited June 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 11 June 2024
- rvatorMelbourne, Australia72 contributionsMore than a TempleGreat place to visit and see a huge Tibetan temple only 10 minutes out of Bendigo town and near vineyards. See Bhodi Tree which is alleged to be cuttings from original tree Bhudda died under plus amazing cremation relics of past monks and Dali Lamas. A good time to visit is for the annual animal blessings day or festival of light with fabulous fireworks and light show.Visited July 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 4 August 2024

- Chancery Lane HotelsBeckoning the in-crowd, this tiny, almost too-cool laneway is where you'll find visitors, both local and transient in their natural habitat: decking themselves out in cool threads, getting inked on the spot, sneaking in massages, chowing down at foodie haunts, gossiping over hot coffees, treating themselves to bespoke blooms and having their bangs trimmed at the barber. Chancery Lane is proof that good things come in small packages! You'll find surprises here, where the venues for food, fashion, lifestyle and art are modest, quirky and sometimes hidden. Enjoy the artistic expression, watch the world go by or skip the lunchtime crowd and checkout Chancery Lane after dark under a halo of floating fairy lights. The very Melbournesque Dispensary Bar & Diner's pan-Asian menu is perfect for both a light lunch or a serious degustation dinner PLUS it's the only Bendigo restaurant featured in both the 2016 Age Good Food Guide AND The Financial Review's 2016 Top 500 Australian Restaurants. Once a pet store, the DBD is a favourite for intimate after-work drinks and nibbles, and widely regarded as having the best drinks list in regional Victoria. It's easy to understand why many settle in just a little too long! And if you do need to redeem yourself, step into the floral wonderland at Libertine, just across the way. With its mesmerising colours and intoxicating scents, this gem proves why the florist has earned its stellar reputation. From one bloom to an entire installation, the creative team at Libertine don't take each other too seriously, LOVE what they do and welcome both the curious and the committed. It's clear the laneway is their playground and perfectly at home too, is Royal Jims Barber. From hairy hipsters to a silver fox, just walk in and sit down. It's a great looking space with a throng of cool cats who sing their praises. No Appointment. No fuss. No shampoo. Specialising in cut-throat, the guys at RJB offer full barbering services and beard maintenance. Grab a beer, read the paper and let someone else take care of your grooming needs. How good is that? A little ways along the lane you'll find Robe. Men's and women's 'ready to wear' merged with the romantic and eclectic. Carrying Australian labels Sass & Bide, Jac + Jack, Cable Melbourne, Samantha Wills and 12 more, Robe is intimate, vibrant and unsuspecting. Think couches to lounge on, fitting rooms to autograph and skittles to share. It's always the experience that lingers. And the cute little army men tied to the packaging of each purchase. Done shopping? Sneak upstairs and take some time out with Daa at Jindaa Thai Massage. Daa specialises in Thai traditional massage, Swedish massage, Foot Reflexology, Herbal Compress and Remedial massage. Whether you suffer from chronic back, neck or shoulder pain, Office syndrome, sports injuries or just want some stress relief and pampering, climbing those stairs up to Jindaa is a trip to heaven! Perhaps you're looking for a place to get some new ink? Wander off the main thoroughfare and into the recently renovated Gallery Tattoo Studio. Established last year, the studio has a fresh contemporary feel that is bright, inviting and squeezed with pure artist talent. Whether you're planning your first tattoo or trying to find a new artist for your next, the team of four residents provide their clients with quality work, a safe sterile environment and the ability to work on custom pieces. Before such an inspiring (and brave) posse of locals set up shop, we wouldn't blame you if you hadn't heard of Chancery Lane. And if you haven't, it's time too, to get acquainted with Elgordo. This is the place to get your regular morning caffeine fix. In fact, this is the hole in the wall where your day should begin. Operated by husband & wife team, Chad & Haley, Elgordo offers a Spanish inspired experience with fabulous light lunches and plenty of homemade wholefood baked treats. But the real drawcard here is Friday and Saturday nights. Swing by later for tapas or a charcuterie board, and share wine, bubbles and craft beer with friends, new and old as the sun sets over Bendigo's heritage skyline. Urban alleys aren't for garbage and graffiti anymore. Businesses and community groups are turning them into places for people and art and as cities grow up, not out, public space is at a premium. Chancery Lane was the first cab off the rank when it came to bringing life back to Bendigo's laneways, and boy, what a trail it's blazed! Regularly ringing with the clip-clop sound of dressy heels, lunchtime business meetings and the laughter of its regulars, Chancery Lane has established a laneway culture all of its own. Tucked between streets, buildings, warehouses and local history, discover a Bendigo you didn't know. Discover Chancery Lane.Read more
