This is certainly a major station, but then again Bedigo does happen to be a major regional centre…read moreso you probably shouldn't be all that surprised. The trains do come here reasonably regular, and many of them are express as well, which I have to admit is pretty cool. There is also a bus interchange as well, and generally if you are catching buses through then it is a quick change to the said bus. Yeah, I do like this station, but I should point out that that if you need to get a paper ticket, it is probably best to arrive a little earlier, just in case there is a line.

While not necessarily out of the way (the Bendigo tram stops at the front door, but it only goes…read morepast on an hourly basis) it did take a while for me to walk here from the last pub I visited, and it must have shown because the barmaid asked me if I had been walking for a bit. She then proceeded to tell me about the photos on the wall which showed the pub how it looked in the past, and also told me that there used to be a lady's lounge (at which point one of the old guys blurted out that ladies don't come to the pub anymore). There was a beer garden out the back, but it seemed to be more like a back garden with some tables thrown around, not that it was bad per se, it was just a lot more homely. There is also a room with a pool table as well as a restaurant.

This place is interesting, especially since you can check out all of the trams that happen to be used along the route, as well as the workshops out the back (though of course you can't actually enter). Honestly, it isn't bad at all.

The tram was surprisingly comfortable compared to the Metro trams in Melbourne. We even managed to secure a ride on the Schaller Tram, which was decked out like you wouldn't believe - comfy sofa, original artwork, paint brushes, pots and spatter everywhere. We loved it!

Apparently this is the oldest functioning Chinese temple in Australia. Then again it was built…read moreduring the gold rush by the numerous Chinese that came to Australia to mind gold for the emperor (though most of them basically ended up staying, which is why there are some distinct Chinese communities here in Australia). Yeah, it was rather nice, though not surprisingly it was also quite small. The idea was to represent the major deities in the Chinese mythology, though there is one that is of particular importance, namely because it is the deities that travellers tended to pay homage too, which shouldn't surprise one when we consider that this is a temple in a foreign land.

It was sort of one of those hidden gems in a way, namely because it isn't quite near the main city centre. It has a pretty awesome atmosphere with some great service as well.
