🇦🇺 Melbourne Day Trip: Autumn in Bendigo 🍂✨

Autumn is Bendigo’s golden hour—crunchy leaves, crisp air, and artsy charm! 🚆 Getting There V/Line from Southern Cross → 2hr scenic ride. First stop: Cozy Turkish café (walk-in friendly!). 🍁 Must-Do Stroll ▪️ Sacred Heart Cathedral ⛪ Lawn pic = full Gothic glory in one shot! ▪️ Bendigo Art Gallery 🎨 Surrounded by vintage shops (RIP, Sunday closures 😢). ▪️ Poppet Head Lookout 👀 Climb for 360° town views (worth the stairs!). ▪️ Alexandra Fountain ⛲ + Rosalind Park 🌳 Golden-hour leaf crunching 🍂→ peak autumn vibes. Verdict: ✅ Slow travel at its finest ✅ Art + history + foliage = trifecta! #BendigoAutumn #MelbourneWeekends #GoldRushVibes #FujiFilmMagic 🚂📸
