Bendigo Art Gallery
The Bendigo Art Gallery is a gem. My wife and I travelled all the way from the Central Coast of NSW to Bendigo for a curated exhibition of French masterpieces a few years ago, but were enthralled by the Goldfields Collection, and ‘discovered’ other wonderful works by Samuel Gill (the Digger’s Wedding in Melbourne) and Louis Buvelot. Wonderful!

Why Bendigo?
Bendigo lies 153klm north of Melbourne. Although Melbourne has the top number of entertainment centres, we mustn’t forget that Bendigo has its own quality of entertainers and attraction centres. The younger of the population may tolerate travelling down to the big city but we, of a more mature age, appreciate the quality of selection in our own district. We do not go short ofa grand smorgasbord of arts, entertainment and cultures.
