Wow Bendigo is Fantastic!

Three nights in Bendigo were simply not enough. The city, once the richest city in the world, has magnificent public and private buildings, is an internationally recognised centre of gastronomy, and has several museums, art galleries and theatres. I mean, wow! We booked into the Cathedral Motel, having a comfortable and very roomy ground floor studio. A bonus was the free laundry provided by the motel. We knew one of our two days would need to be given to washing our clothes, and that was Sunday.
And then the world intruded big time and not in a good way. In fact the terrible events at Bondi where a father and son took 16 lives, wounded countless others, and left us all shaken because our beautiful Australian peacefulness once again had been fractured by madmen and their murderous madness. It certainly took the wind out of sightseeing sails. This was probably just as well because all the attractions of Bendigo shut down on Mondays. So we walked in the beautiful central gardens, did some shopping and admired the architecture. We will return to this amazing place.もっと詳しく
