Bendigo 20/12

Bendigo, dates back to the 1850's when gold was discovered in Victoria. You can see where they spent the money as unusually for Australia the buildings look traditional and made of stone. The place has a mediterranean feel as well as climate. We couldn't decide whether we were in France, Italy or London (on a sunny day). We had to walk through temperatures in the mid 30's.



This is Pall Mall one of Australia's most impressive boulevards and full of buildings from the Victorian era.



The building of the Sacred Heart Cathedral started in the late 19th century and was only completed in 2001 with the installation of the bells.



This is Jayne in Paris. Actually its a Poppethead (Gold Mine Tower) in Bendigo.
