◾️ The emphasis on high quality, locally grown and made products and fresh produce is evident in Bendigo in the delis, cafes, shops and wineries. It is a highly awarded city for its food and wine, and there is a real pride in the service and hospitality provided.

◾️ Education is highly valued in Bendigo. There is a good selection of public and private childcare, primary and secondary schools, as well as universities and other tertiary education options. (It is worth noting that many radiologists and other staff at this practice have children of varying ages – they are a great source of information and very willing to help with discussions around education choices).

Transport Networks and Accessibility

Bendigo is a compact, well designed and established city with wide streets lined with beautiful trees, shopping areas and cafes dotted throughout and an emphasis on walking between all the key landmarks including hospitals, schools, universities, art galleries and theatres, as well as the practical supermarkets, banks, and other services.

To access Bendigo from other cities, you have the following options:

◾️ Melbourne city is less than 2 hours’ drive, and Melbourne Airport is only is only a 1 ½ hour drive.

◾️ Direct flights operate from Sydney Domestic Terminal with Qantas and take just 2 hours – Bendigo centre is then only a few minutes easy drive. (Less than 10).

◾️ Trains operate from Bendigo central directly to Melbourne CBD – Many locals take the train into Melbourne for a show or night out. An easy and relaxing way to go! (Many Melbourne visitors also love to take this option for a weekend in Bendigo to enjoy the great wine, food, theatre, sport and art too!).

◾️ Uber, plenty of taxis and local buses also service the city and region.
