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!!!

Join Jill and Pete for their outdoor, guided walking tour through Bendigo’s historic centre and distinctive boom-style architecture.

We recall people, events and unprecedented wealth that built ‘Marvellous Melbourne’ shaping a new nation. We ponder Bendigo's leading role in campaigns for democracy, votes for women, unionism, and Federation. From radicals to royalty, larrikins to leaders, enjoy the quirky, remarkable, often forgotten stories of Bendigo. Government regulations are in place for your safety.

At Central Deborah Gold Mine you will discover more about Bendigo's golden past at a real gold mine that operated during the gold rush boom of the 1900s. Experience what conditions were really like for miners as you are guided through hidden underground tunnels by friendly and knowledgeable guides. Descending to the depths of Bendigo, gold fever strikes visitors on the famous Mine Experience Tour (61m underground), the exciting Underground Adventure Tour (85m underground) and Australia's deepest underground mine tour, Nine Levels of Darkness (228m underground).
We were fortunate to be the only ones in our tour group and found the tour of the 2nd level of the mine to be every educational and awesome. Our tour guide Zoey was awesome and gave us a great tour and knowledge of the mine and Bendigos gold history. Definately need a little time to look around the surdace at the displays. Overall a great day out

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.

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.

Experience the largest Buddhist stupa in the Western world. The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion situated near Bendigo, Victoria, is the same size and design as The Great Stupa of Gyantse in Tibet. It rises to a total height of 48 metres above Bendigo’s distinctive bushland, and is 50 metres wide at its base. The Great Stupa is home to many holy objects. Foremost amongst these is the magnificent Jade Buddha for Universal Peace which is the largest Buddha carved from gem quality jade in the world. Wander the Peace Park and see beautiful relics and artworks inside The Great Stupa. Learn about Buddhism, Asian culture and art. Treat yourself with an artisan gift from the shop or have a barista-style coffee and a bite to eat at StupaView Café. It’s a pet friendly site as long as your furry friend is kept on a leash.
What an amazing place to find nestled in the Australian bush land, just outside Bendigo! An astonishing blend of Eastern philosophy, nature park, temple, learning and peace! Could not recommend a stop off here more highly, to both enjoy, learn and view. The small tour of the temple was a stand out but really there wasn’t a dull second doing the self guided walk.

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!
