‘The food and cultural revolution has well and truly arrived in Bendigo,’ said the Age's journalist, Mary O’Brien in her article ‘When to go to Bendigo – Now’.
If you are looking for a weekend getaway, don’t need to look any further.
Bendigo is only 2 hours away from Melbourne CBD and has vastly becoming one of the must-see destinations for Arts, Culture and Music.
The Bendigo Art Gallery currently has a visiting international exhibition from the Royal Academy of Art, London called ‘Genius and Ambition’. It features a range of paintings and sculpture to works on paper and historic books from the Royal Academy collections. The exhibition is finishing on the 9th June so don’t leave it till too late.
After the exhibition, why not have a coffee at one of the many quirky café around town? Once you are re-charged, visit one of the many attractions around Bendigo, such as the Bendigo Talking Tram, The Capital Theatre, and the Central Deborah Mine. After a busy day, enjoy a contemporary dining experience in one of our beautiful heritage buildings that uses amazing local produce.
You can then spend the next day visiting all the beautiful wineries around the area…
Now put Bendigo down for your next weekend escape.
