What a wonderful afternoon starting with a plentiful high tea, followed by a tour of this amazing property and ended with further refreshments. The history of this property is fascinating and the love and care Paul & Lisa Banks are devoting to it’s restoration is very apparent. The service on the day was great and Shane the tour guide was first class, highly informative and entertaining. I highly recommend this tour. A must do!!!

This park is the jewel and well worth a visit, beautiful kept garden with plenty of pathways for a nice walk and gardens to admire. The viewing tower is a great climb for those able to walk up and down many many steps, the view from the top of Bendigo is well worth it. (go on a weekday not weekend) If have children there is plenty of space for them to run around.

For a small regional gallery, Bendigo Art Gallery continues to deliver. It has been one of only a few galleries to feature the Archibald Prize outside the major cities. And then there is the special events. The Age of Couture, The Grace Kelly Exhibition, The Marilyn Monroe exhibition and recently the Tudor to Windsor Exhibition featuring painting from the royal family dating back to the Age of the Tudors. And this is just in recent times. Bendigo shouold be very proud of their Gallery and the Curating staff.

The museum took us by surprise expecting to see some Chinese dragons, there was also an amazing collection of Chinese art including temple dogs, statues and a carriage made of jade. Plus we enjoyed looking thru the collection of Chinese coins and the serenity of the Chinese garden and temple.

We took our four-year-old and 10-year-old to the park for a little walk around. It was fantastic. We were really surprised by the whimsical park and we practically got a private tour of the bird avery! Great park!
