Bendigo, Victoria

This is one mighty long caravan, people must live in it all the time, certainly not my cup of tea.

Bendigo in Victoria is a beautiful city with many old buildings, it's a busy city so therefore hard to get a photo of the buildings.

Bendigo was originally a gold rush boom town, and was home to the mid-1900s Central Deborah Gold Mine. The urban population is over 99,000 people making it the 4th largest inland city in Australia.


The fountain is beautiful and is in the middle of the road, hard to take a photo of it so it's taken through the window when travelling.




Part of a street to give some idea of the trees that line the side of some of the street.  An older building below, once again taken as travelling past.


The Chinese cemetery which is well looked after.  People buried here from the gold rush times and of course since I presume.




The old cemetery above, didn't get to see the lawn one.

Holden Cars

Holden Cars were made in Australia for years. The first was produced in 1948, the last in 2017.

The Holden museum in Echuca has many Holden cars which are owned by various Holden enthusiasts, these owners have done their cars up immaculately and display them in the museum for a time.  I enjoyed viewing them all, and was permitted to take photos.
The history and information of the Holden can be found [ here ]
 
I took photos of all the cars there but showing a few in this post and not in order.
