Melbourne Day Trip | A Nostalgic Bendigo Adventure 🚋✨
Spent Easter in Bendigo—a charming blend of history, art, and festive vibes! Here's the scoop: 🏙️ Cityscape & Vintage Trams The iconic heritage trams were paused due to Easter parades (sad!), but the streets still oozed old-world charm. 📸 🌆 Poppet Head Lookout Mini viewing tower behind the art gallery—offers a panoramic city glimpse (spot the Sacred Heart Cathedral!). 🏰 ⛪ Sacred Heart Cathedral Stunning Gothic architecture—my Guangzhou friend said it’s a twin to the city’s Stone Chamber Cathedral! 😲 🏮 Yi Yuan Chinese Garden & Guanyin Temple Bendigo’s deep Asian ties shine here! The garden + Golden Dragon Museum (filled with Chinese artifacts) = cultural time warp. 🐉 🎨 Bendigo Art Gallery Almost skipped it… but so glad I didn’t! Small but mighty—perfect for a dose of creativity. 🖼️ 🎪 Easter Festival Highlights Carnival games 🎡, petting farms 🐑, parades, and Lion Dances—felt like Chinese New Year abroad! 🧧 #Bendigo #MelbourneDayTrips #EasterFestival #HistoricTowns #ArtAndCulture #ExploreVictoria #TravelAustralia #HiddenGems 🚂🌿
