Bendigo

On Thursday we spent the day in Bendigo.  It was rather nostalgic as I used to spend some school holidays in the area a million years ago.


Our first stop in Bendigo was to the Central Deborah Gold Mine.


We saw the massive gold ingots on display.


Then we went on a Tram ride around the city.


Past the Bendigo sign.


Past the Sacred Heart Cathedral.


Some lovely old cottages.


The Shamrock Hotel.


The Alexandra Fountain


The lotus at the front of the Golden Dragon Museum


Blue lion on display.  
You couldn't use a flash on the camera inside 
the museum so a lot of photos were not clear.


The Jade Carriage.


One of the many dragons.


The Yi Yuan Garden (Garden of Joy)







We went to the Joss House but unfortunately it was not open. 
 I took this photo between the slats in the fence.


My favourite Bendigo Pottery.  I just had to buy two coffee mugs.
