A passion for fashion One of Australia’s most successful retail stories began in Bendigo, where Sidney Myer wheeled his barrow of goods before setting up shop at the turn of last century. The department store still sits at the heart of the retail hub. Jimmy Possum and Fernwood Fitness also began their journey to success here. 4

Fossick for fine food Coffee wafts through the air from funky cafés that exude our relaxed way of life. A wander around Bendigo reveals that streets and laneways are bustling with things that foodies love to find. It’s an emerging scene that’s all about locally roasted coffee, locally grown produce, boutique beers, regional wines and gourmet flair. Bendigo’s founders set out to recreate London, giving it a distinctive European feel. Ornate buildings transformed the landscape and 6
now form the impressive backdrop to many dining and alfresco experiences. Lighting adds ambience and historic venues have been refurbished as wine bars and restaurants. Many local restaurants are acknowledged in The Age Good Food Guide and there is a trail you can follow on page 101. From rich, ripe reds to elegant whites, the wines from Bendigo’s gold-bearing soils are a wine lover’s treasure and the nearby Heathcote region produces finest world-class Shiraz from the famed ancient Cambrian soils. Enjoy local wines at many of our restaurants and cafes. Pick up a Food Fossicking guide to find who blends their own coffee, where there’s a greengrocer and what’s been grown nearby. 7

If flavour, fashion and friends are top of mind, take the time to meander along this jam-packed shopping strip.
Flavour Fantastic
Transport Hub
Gourmet delicatessens, homemade gelato, devonshire tea, seasonal fruits and freshly brewed coffee all attract a strong following of good food fans to this street.
Trams once rattled along this busy street. It’s still a great place to start exploring Bendigo, being so close to the busy Bendigo Railway Station where V/Line trains are in service. Many of the other intriguing precincts branch off this main thoroughfare too!
Chinese Heritage One of Australia’s oldest Chinese restaurants sits on Mitchell Street. It sprung up when Bendigo’s gold rush attracted many thousands of Chinese, bringing the Chinese population in Bendigo to 20 percent at its peak.
While You’re Here Taste the sumptuous foods prepared daily at various cafe’s. Select from home furnishings and wares to suit your style. Bus services taking people across Bendigo converge here. Visit the new art gallery Hudson’s Hub. 51

Enjoy a friendly shopping atmosphere in Historic Eaglehawk or catch a movie while reclining back into a cosy couch at Star Cinema.
