Bendigo, Historical gold mining city in Victoria, Australia.
Located in north-central Victoria, Bendigo extends across valleys and hills, surrounded by the Greater Bendigo National Park with distinct seasonal weather patterns.
The discovery of gold in 1851 transformed Bendigo from a pastoral station into a major settlement, attracting thousands of migrants seeking fortune.
The Dja Dja Wurrung and Taungurung peoples maintain deep connections to these lands, contributing to the region's indigenous heritage through generations.
The city provides extensive public transportation options, including regular bus services and direct railway connections to Melbourne, located 150 kilometers southeast.
Bendigo earned recognition as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, reflecting its commitment to local food production and culinary innovation.
