A Leisurely Stroll Through Bendigo’s Golden Streets !!🏛️✨
After an exhilarating morning panning for gold at Central Deborah Mine, I embarked on a delightful walk through Bendigo’s historic center, following local recommendations to a hidden culinary gem just 20 minutes from the mine’s entrance. From Gold Panning to Pasta ⛏️→🍝 The journey itself was a visual feast: Heritage Architecture: Passing Victorian-era banks with intricate stone carvings 🏦 Artistic Surprises: Street murals depicting gold rush legends 🎨 Rosalind Park’s autumn leaves crunching underfoot 🍂 The Highly Recommended Italian Stop 🇮🇹 Borchelli Ristorante delivered beyond expectations: House Special: Hand-rolled pappardelle with slow-braised lamb ragu 🍝✨ (The meat fell apart at the touch of a fork!) Atmosphere: Exposed brick walls adorned with vintage mining tools ⚒️ Sweet Finale: Tiramisu layered with locally roasted coffee ☕🍰 Why This Walk Wins 🏆 ✨ Perfect Pacing: Gentle downhill slope from mine to restaurant .🚶♂️⏬ ✨ Photo Ops: Golden hour light on Sandhurst Town Hall’s clock tower .📸🕰️ ✨ Local Encounter: Chatting with a fourth-generation miner at a sidewalk café.☕ #Australia #Bendigo#BendigoBites #HistoricWalks #GoldAndCarbs
