You may ask why a day trip to Bendigo? Tracey needs to get her k's up before the end of the financial year, so we decided on a day trip... Not sure how Bendigo was decided on, but off we went on Sunday... Both of us feeling a tiny bit rough from the night before, giving the trip that surreal feeling...
We ate lunch at The Shamrock Hotel, a parma for $14.50, and I must say that it was a really good parma! Great chicken, good sauce, loads of cheese, nice chips and the salad was wicked, loads of variety and not too much dressing...
We headed to the botanical gardens for a walk, it was quick as they aren't small, but the fernery was lovely... The plaque for it was really nice so I included a pic...
As we walked and then drove around the botanical gardens block we discovered that the Bendigo Prison and High School are next door to each other, not great council planning... The further we went it wasn't only the gardens, school and prison, it was also the aquatic centre and local oval, this block has a little bit of everything!
and across the road...
On the way there we saw a pretty church, so on the way home we checked it out... I was surprised at its size, considering that the population of Bendigo could fit into the MCG...
